TOPIC: How Angery Are You?
Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a glass of
"POISON" since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely
grateful.
Did you know......
If we were to live, we had to be
free of anger.
The grouch and the sudden rage
were not for us.
Anger is the dubious luxury of
normal men.........
but for us alcoholics it is poison.
I learned in early recovery that
anger and resentments could
kill me.
People in general would pizz me
off all the time. I saw faults in
almost everyone i encountered.
What made me so perfect that
I could take their inventory.
I wasnt perfect and yes i made lots
of mistakes and when i saw faults
in others then it was seeing the
same faults in myself.
So i stayed angery. Then the more
angry i got of people the more resent-
ful i became.
I continued learning thru my
program and working the steps
in my everyday affairs as to why
i was angry and resentful then
learned to let go so i wouldnt
kill myself of a slow death of
anger.
Today i dont have to live with
that extra weight of anger on
my shoulders. For that it has
been a freeing experience.
