“taking a trip, not taking a trip”😉

I drank alcoholically for 45 years.

Being intersex/transgender really messed with my head and heart, and soul.

A couple of different therapists insinuated, or at least my alcoholic mind interpreted it as, “When you’ve transitioned you won’t be an alcoholic any more.”

Transition did give me the peace of mind and feeling of 'rightness' that I needed, but I was still a drunk.

On September 21, 2018, I rejoined,(for the three dozen-th(?) time), AA, and 25 years after transitioning, really got sober and clean.

I had moved from San Diego to Greenville NC, about twenty years ago, and don’t 'do' AA exactly the way some of the old-timers would prefer me to, but it works for me and I am grateful to Goddess and the fellowship.

My sponsor, who’s higher power was “The Universe”, passed away, sober, after 38 years in the fellowship, a couple of months ago, and I haven’t gotten another one. She wouldn’t insist that I do.

Thanks for this essay. I know, without a doubt, that there is some significant number of alcoholics playing with these new fads…

All we can do is add them to our prayers.

Thanks again Alicia.
