    Hi all,

    I am 26 years old and have struggled with my sexuality for half of my life now. I am a recovered alcoholic, 3 years sober (!!!), and believe I drank to cover the issues I have over my sexuality. I have a lot to say, lots of self-discovery ahead, and a whole lot of living to catch up on (feel as if hiding myself has made me miss out in life :tears:slight_smile:. I'm glad I found this site today and hope to help and learn from this community. (&&&)

    It is so wonderful to hear that you overcame your issues with alcohol. As for hiding yourself and missing out on life, that is an unfortunate occurrence. However, I am also glad you managed to make your way to EC. I think you'll find that there are so many loving and caring people here who are going to be more than willingly to lend a virtual ear/shoulder/what have you. You'll find lots of great advice and enormous support. So don't be shy if you have a question about anything.

    Welcome to EC! :grin:

    Yes, I just realized the same :frowning2:
    I suppose you can always use the anonymous section? I'm still figuring things out on this website...
