The challenge here is that we have, as always, as human beings, a case of mistaken identity. The identity of a person in recovery, the identity of an addict, the identity of a white male, the identity of a white female, the identity of a black male, the identity of an American, the identity of being wealthy, the identity of being poor, the identity of being sick, the identity of being well. How many more identities could we possibly take on, none of which actually accurately reflect who and what we are internally?
