You might want to try GLBTQ in Recovery - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information also.

Welcome to SR!
We generally do not talk about sexual things here but if you are having problems with alcohol then you have come to the right place. You will find lots of support here for alcohol recovery!

trying,
you're limiting the field of support drastically
many here have felt so alone and going crazy and might know just what that place is like and what has helped them get out of it.
getting engaged and connecting with others has been the mainstay of my sobriety.
good to see you posting, reaching out.

Soberrecovery is a forum for those recovering from alcohol and substance abuse addictions and help for family and friends whos lives have been affected by someone else's addiction. Although we care about everyone and all the issues our members struggle with we feel that some topics can cause damage to those who are trying to recover on our forums. Posts with serious suicide threats, details of sexual abuse, and details of sexual addiction are many times too much of a trigger for some of our members and can trigger a relapse in recovery. General discussions are welcome.
Trying - I know your situation...I think the link I gave you will provide people to talk/text/IM to about your problem

Just b/c someone is seeking someone out who has, perhaps, the same sexual orientation does NOT mean the conversation is about "sexual things." Maybe they just feel more comfortable with someone who shares a similar identity.
However, I have seen a few threads over the last couple years actually that DO address sexual matters (as Dee pointed out).
Finally, it seems that the OP wanted to discuss something in private anyway.
I just had to get that out. If a straight dude wanted to talk something out with another straight dude, would the presumption automatically be that it is about sex? Nope.
I hope you're feeling better and have found some support, trying4now.

thanks, Ophelia, for that statement. i wanted to point that out, too, the so-frequent-assumption and stereotype and then couldn't think of the words to put it simply. you did it wonderfully.
trying4now, hope you're feeling better.
lots of different places here on SR to connect.

Trying, I think I have read most of your posts. And, coincidentally, I have also been logged on most of the times you posted.
I have found that SoberRecovery is very useful at solving a wide variety of issues if I use the forum effectively. Thus, I need to become involved in threads that are interesting to me--I can always find something. Involvement can be just reading, or posting also. Right now, for example, there is a weekend thread going on--and there is no reason that I can't bring up deeply personal problems which I may be facing at the moment. Well, you might look at the thread and read about people's doing laundry or cooking bacon. But there are other battles these folks might be fighting--often it has been previously shared here at SoberRecovery. And we know that everyone here is fighting the battle of sobriety, so my point is that there is nothing you can't share here. Cooking bacon can be just as much a victory of sobriety as marital problems are a challenge.
I really, sincerely, hope to hear MORE from you!
