Substance Abuse in the Gay and Lesbian Community
A brochure that covers such issues as
why is addiction such a problem, suicide, and getting help, Written by
Dot Wojakowski as part of a Challenge Grant, produced and distributed by
McGill Student Health Services. "Alcoholism is a fatal chronic
illness affecting the lives of 20 to 30% of the homosexual population (Ziebold
& Mongeon, 1982). Studies have found that 35% of lesbians had a history of
excessive drinking, compared to only 5% of the heterosexual women in the
sample (Saghir, 1970; Lewis, 1982). Approximately 30% of lesbians and gay
men are addicted to drugs (Rofes, 1983). The facts show that the
homosexual community constitutes a high-risk population with regard to
alcoholism and drug abuse."

The International Advisory Council for
Homosexual Men and Women in Alcoholics Anonymous, Inc.
"I
came to A.A. and got sober in November, 1972. My home group (the Gay
Group, of Washington, D.C.) was then working with members of The Friday
Night Group of Princeton, N.J., writing an A.A. oriented pamphlet called
The Homosexual Alcoholic - A.A.'s Message of Hope to Gay Men and Women. I
mention it at this juncture because the beginnings of IAC can be traced
back to that pamphlet, although the full story has several different
threads. I'll try to unravel a few of them here."
