It's always more awkward to try to disguise our sexuality in telling our stories. Using "them" and "they" instead of "he" and "she" to describe our partners. I stopped trying long ago. Let 'em deal with it.

I agree that it is sufficient to say something along the lines of: "Like many of you, my alcoholism took me to places where I did things socially and sexually that I might not have done otherwise, but that's best left for a different 12-step meeting" They'll get the idea.
