My ex-girlfriend's father is a disfellowshiped Jehova's Witness for being gay. He turned to alcohol, and he's been sober for years thanks to AA. Your story is actually fairly common (more than I would have thought, until meeting my ex-girlfriend's father and hearing a bunch of stories from his friends); it is great to let people know that if they have a problem that it is ok to find help. No one should feel ashamed because of their sexuality, it seems that the social consciousness in this matter is slowly shifting. I hope it continues to do so. Thank you for sharing your story. And for others out there feeling similarly, you aren't alone.
