TOPIC: Are You Dampening Your Holiday Spirits With Resentments?

[aasharon90]

Hi im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.

By the Grace of my HP and people
here in SR i havent had a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90. For that
im truely grateful.

Holidays are to be a special time
for families and friends to get
together. Right? A time to rejoice
and be happy and grateful for all
the wonderful blessings bestowed
upon us. Right?

Well, we also have to keep our
program into check from time to
time or else we will find ourselves
sadden, disullisioned, fearful,
resentful.....

DEALING WITH RESENTMENTS...

That's where im at today....

Resentments is the Number One
offender. It destroys more alcoholics
than anything else. From it stems all
forms of spiritual disease, for we have
been not only mentally and physically
ill, we have also been spiritually ill.
When our spiritul malady is overcome,
we straighten out mentally and
physically.

In dealing with our resentments, we
set them on paper. We list, institutions,
or principles with whom we were angry.
We ask ourselves why we were angry.
In most cases it was found that our self
-esteem, our pocketbooks, our ambitions,
our personal relationships (including sex)
were hurt or threatened.

Sure i am harboring lots of resentments
at the moment....and that is why im here
writing about it....its keeps thoses thoughts
from festering inside me and blowing into
a full grown monster.

No i don't like it when i feel this way....
it certainly takes away every ounce
of my serenity and peace of mind and
shoots it up into space so to speak.

So what to do about it? Come here to u
guys and sharing whats going on with
me and hopefully ill get some positive
feedback and get back on track with
my program.

I dont want to feel alone in my disease
and being here with u guys makes me feel
right at home with many wonderful
caring, supportive people just like I.

Thanks for letting me share.
