The Big Book clearly states that resentment is the number one offender in alcoholics drinking again. That proved to be the case for me when I drank again after 4 years clean/sober.
I no longer shoot myself in the foot by engaging in relationships with unhealthy men. That was
always a distraction for me so I didn't have to look at myself.
Today my recovery is the most important thing to me.
