As gay men in recovery, we face special challenges every day of our lives. But with true courage, support, and understanding, we can strengthen our spirits to meet these challenges. Lavender Light is the first book of daily mediations written especially for gay men in recovery. These simple yet powerful words of wisdom speak to our own unique experiences-and reflect upon issues that are rarely addressed by support groups or recovery literature. These day-by-day messages of hope and healing offer refreshing new insights into our most personal concerns: homophobia, self-acceptance, coming out, same-sex relationships, civil rights and much more. These are the affirmations we need to grow with each passing day, to take charge of our lives and to empower our spirits with the brilliant light of truth, beauty encouragement, and love.
