Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the Grace of My HP and people
like you here in SR I havent had a
drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely
grateful.

Do you have things or people
in your past or present that have
pizzed you off or continue to pizz
u off? Maybe you are stlll harboring
those resentments towards those
people or things.

Could that be one reason why
you drank/used over? To not
have to deal with them or be
reminded how they treated u?

I drank for a many yrs over the
way i was treated as a child. A
little child verbally and physically
abuse at the hand of a parent.

Ridiculed my people who i thought
were my friends.

A spouse or family members who
never listened or understood me.

The numbing affect of alcohol worked
for awhile till no more. I wound up
on a rollercoaster ride of ups and
downs with my emotions.

It wasnt until i picked up the tools
and knowledge of my disease that
i began to let go of those resentments
and move on in a healthier direction.

I realized that resentments take a toll
on your health...it causes more problems
than you can expect....

Holding onto those resentments can
kill you...eventually if not addressed.

So i use the tools of my 12 step program
to guide me. I use the network of my
recovery program to lean on. Learn
from.

When i began to talk about what and who
was bothering me and found the proper
way to deal with them or it ...then was
I able to shed that extra baggage that
had been weighing heavy on my
shoulders and causing me to drink.

Eventually i learned that reaching for
my Power greater than I was very
instrumental in my recovery and
letting go of those unwanted
resentments.

Today im healthier and freer from
resentments.

Maybe u resent the fact u are
trying to stay clean and sober
but you keep slipping. Why?

Maybe you have many other
resentments u would like to
deal with but dont know how.

Share ur experiences, strengths
and hopes with us on ur resentments.

Thanks for letting me share.
