I went into Step 4 in AA thinking "oh, who, me, resentments? Nah!"
When in fact when I worked through Step 4, (a total Beeatch of a step BTW)....I realized I had a lot of expectations and resulting disappointments and resulting resentments....and a low level of appreciating life.
You mention you go to AA, have you started the step work?
no- i just go to meetings sometime. I know i am powerless but i havent done the steps.
I guess I am stuck on step one. However I do believe in my Higher Power, which for me is my religion. I am so close... I wish I could take a couple months off and just go to the beach.
