Being bicultural is an advantage but to those struggling to establish their identity, it can be quite a endeavor. It is difficult for me to explain the role of sober recovery in my life to people back home where drinking and functioning alcoholism is a part of the country's culture. This disease of alcoholism does not get cured with one meeting. It is much more than just not drinking. It's being in touch with yourself, knowing there's something greater than yourself, and being motivated to live an honest life. After yesterday's ridiculous visit with father I'm done explaining myself.
