This group is for anyone who identifies as g0y and is also in recovery or seeking recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual addiction, or other type of addiction or struggle, or codependency and issues related to being in relationship with someone else who struggles in these areas.

The following definition of g0ys is from the main g0ys group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goyz/:
G0YS (spelled w/ a ZER0) are normal guys who often deal with extremely intense feelings of emotional and even physical affection for other men. But we don't relate to mainstream "gAy-male" culture, finding many "gAy" stigmas/practices completely at odds with our values. In general, we completely shun degrading fetishes such as AnalSex or men playing the 'female role'. If you knew how many guys felt this way, you'd be astonished! Athletes, military, blue/white collar, "Bi" and married guys, even dudes who formerly thought of themselves as "gAy". Now all say "g0y"! The list of guys discovering http://g0ys.org grows! Many are also deeply spiritual men who have discovered how wrong traditional religion can be (i.e. Romans 1 speaks against 'AnalSex', not 'samesex intimacy')! G0YS are about strong male bonding, health, affection, empathy and intimacy between men of conscience who esteem respect, dignity and privacy - as integral to the inner man. We place friendship first and welcome its intense deepening in an aura of trust. If you decide that these are your feelings, too, then you’re a g0y! Welcome to the great male epiphany! If you have a website, put a link back to http://g0ys.org. And mention us when you post elsewhere! Consider joining the free friendship/dating systems suggested from the g0ys.org website, and be sure to include that you're a g0y (with a link back) in any ad you make!

Don't even think of posting smut, or posts that are personal attacks on our members or theme. If you don't agree with our philosophy, no one will beg you to stay. And be assured that nobody
