Alcoholics Anonymous LGBTQ+

Substance Recovery · Illinois · Free

AA resources and meeting locator with LGBTQ+ specific meetings in many cities. A starting point for sober-curious LGBTQ+ adults considering whether to cut back without a full crisis. Harm reduction (Narcan, fentanyl test strips, syringe exchange) is widely available; most LGBTQ+ centers stock supplies. LGBTQ+ adults have 2–4x higher rates of substance use disorder than straight peers — minority stress is the driver, not identity. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
