This article should go in another thread really (LGBTQ+ & Sober: Coming Out Later In Life), but I find it useful to post it here as this is the most active LGBTQ+ on the forum.
I came out to my friends and family when I was about 30. But the process of coming out to myself, to truly accept and know myself as a gay guy, has really only just begun and started after I got clean and sober three years ago. I’m 56 and it’s an ongoing process. Lots of recovery/discovery work to do still. One day at a time. Articles like this help and move me. One love.
