This review is from: Vastly More Than That: Stories of Lesbians & Gay Men in Recovery (Paperback)
A good introduction to issues that arise for gay and lesbian individuals working toward recovery from substance abuse. An honest look at what is different for gay and lesbians with substance issues seeking recovery. Worth reading before going into treatment and as a part of aftercare.
