Denial, Self Medicating. Alcohol

[ShelbyDawn]

Not cursed with any addictions, though my ex would classify my dressing as such, but who cares what my ex says...

Thanks for the recommendation, I had never heard of Kristin and just bought her book. Can't wait to read it.

The guilt most often associated with being trans is bad enough without complicating it with alcohol or drugs. I have used exercise as my "medicine" for over 40 years. It has helped me maintain my health and mental well being. Now I exercise more than is recommended. Many people would call it excessive or addicted; but those are mostly the ones who don't exercise at all. The relationship between physical and mental health is well documented.
