Question of the Week
" Is there any organization like Alcoholics Anonymous which give help to cross dressers who do not want to cross dress? Are there any books or other help for men like me who do not want to be addicted to this behavior? I know the prevailing thought is that one cannot change or be free of this addiction. I have gone as long as eight years without doing it and then it returns and causes me havoc. "
