I am gay man from Connecticut who has just completed alcohol rehab and I can not believe I am writing on this thing they call a BLOG. Have times changed, not to mention they didn’t have crystal meth when I was growing up.

I mention I am gay because there were no gay alcohol rehab programs in Connecticut I could find and the ones they called “gay friendly” had no services that warranted them calling themselves gay friendly anything, much less a gay friendly alcohol rehab.

I am not writing to promote the alcohol rehab program I found that is gay friendly, “although it is called Freedomn Rings of Lakeview, but to urge gay men to investigate the alcohol rehab programs they choose to go to that say they are gay friendly.

The gay alcohol rehab I found had staff that were trained specifically in how to deal with “gay issues” ( and I had more than my share). I never realized how much anger I had towards the hetero’s of the world. There were gay groups where I could just be me and I also got to participate in groups with everyone else. And they think we are sick…….cCrazy little homophobs….lol…..Only kidding.

Whether you choose a gay alcohol rehab or a gay friendly alcohol rehab, as they like to call it, check it out first. Freedom Rings is a good one. Good luck and Happy New Year. Robert
