Abstract The experiences of sex workers who use substances, emphasizing the obstacles and difficulties regarding their access to health and addiction services, was one of the main themes of this paper. At the same time, how they perceive and define themselves through these experiences was investigated. These questions were studied by conducting eight semi-structured interviews with women who work or have worked in the recent past as sex workers and who use substances, whose ages ranged between 38- 63 years. The interview data revealed a variety of themes through which the narratives of the participating women are presented. Initially, their self-identification was done through the narration of past or present experiences, as well as through their self- categorization in a social group and their differentiation from the corresponding out- group. The majority of participants appeared to self-categorize themselves in the users group. Experiences within both the health system and addiction services highlighted the aggravating role of stigma and interaction without substantial interest in their efforts. At the same time, the difficulties that the women of this group have to face in their everyday life are a significant obstacle, which is reinforced by the absence of appropriate programs and services, which respond to the numerous needs that this particular everyday life creates.
