“Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices, just recognize them.”
—Edward R. Murrow
In recovery, I am accepting that I am not perfect and some prejudices are part of my life and what it is to be human. On a daily basis, I am trying to deal with them, and talking about them helps. They don’t go away just because I talk about them, but I get them in perspective and I grow in an understanding of myself through the recognition of my prejudices.
Alcoholism made me into a ” fake.” I appeared to be what I was not, and my prejudices were part of the camouflage. My prejudices revealed my fears and my need to “people-please.” Slowly, in my daily spiritual program, I am discovering the courage to stand alone.
