Monthly Milwaukee Meeting: Addiction and coping strategies
Many people in the trans community are in recovery -- from alcohol, drugs, food, sex, cutting, or other forms of addiction or repetitive behaviors. Oftentimes, we use chemicals or specific adaptive strategies to cope with life's challenges, past trauma, or the micro- or macro-aggressions in day to day life. July's meeting will include a panel of individuals who will discuss addiction, coping strategies, and recovery.
