Whenever I get THAT urge to do something in relation to my alcoholic bros, or clarify something they have said or done to another person, I have found it is best to do nothing! I now choose to step back and choose to stop obsessing.
Deep breathe and try to let it go.

I couldn't agree more with misphit - while it is tru we each carry a heavy load in this life - I would never want the burden of addiction to be my lot. Yuk. I definitely hit a wall w/ my resentments towards my exH - since I was doing everything and he just got to go about doing his own thing - I finally just thanked God that I have the strength, the mental capacity, the will, and the energy to handle responsibility - because otherwise my kids would have been up the creek w/o a paddle!
Does not mean it wasn't really really hard and that I could have and should have been asking for and accepting help from the rest of the world! I mean there is no benefit in being a martyr.
Gratitude lists help me eliminate resentments.
Peace-
