Justanothrdrunk- great topic
Your questioning implies that you are still growing and flourishing in recovery...fantastic!!
My son has been an inpatient at rehab for five and one-half months now.
He mentioned that he's listed over three hundred resentments.
I thought about this and I couldn't think of a single resentment for myself
( now character defects, I can make a considerable list there)
Building up resentments must be part of the " stinkin' thinkin' that I hear about with addicts/alcoholics.
For whatever reason, it has been easy for me to live in forgiveness rather than bitterness and resentment.
Luckily if we are holding a resentment, we can SIMPLY ask for relief, for peace of mind, in the present moment and then shift our energy to where it can do some good.
