I'm new to AA & the steps so please correct me if my perspective is off base. Steps 4, 5, 6, 7 deal, in part, with resentments not only to remove them but also to put them in a healthier, proper context. For example, I resent, to put it mildly, hard drugs (what they do to children/young people - scared for my kids), people who abuse children, & racist people - all in my inventory. I guess my thoughts are that, for me anyway, these are proper resentments to have but I can't let them eat at me, create so much fear/anger that I get into that danger zone. I have to be able to address them, even live with them, in a healthy way.

Still learning!

Great topic by the way. Thanks Rufus.
