"This is a list of my personal
favorite meetings for gay beginners. There are many
other good meetings for gay men (the NY AA
Inter-Group meeting book doesn't necessarily list
them as gay meetings) but this is a good place to
start." -- author,

Description:
How IAC Happened
by Nancy T., of Arlington, Virginia.
-- from "One Point of View" - a publication of the
International Advisory Council for Homosexual Men and
Women in Alcoholics Anonymous, Inc.
From the site:
"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."

From the site:
"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."
