Tell the truth. Don't go out of your way to hide your sexuality or the role it played in your drinking and don't go out of your way to make a bigger deal of it than it actually is/was.

Consider this: If you were at a meeting being chaired by a straight woman whose alcoholism had been partially fueled by her inability to relate sexually unless "under the inlfuence, what amount of info and detail would you, as a listener, be comfortable hearing about that? How would you imagine she might best tell her story appropriately without leaving out imporant information and without compromising her own truth and the honesty of her program?

Whatever you believe the "right" answers would be to those questions, there's no reason why those answers should be any different for you than for her.

Good luck! Chairing a meeting is great fun -- and important service!
