after my 3rd step with my sponsor,he read a few things from the big book to me
i got my pencil and paper out
he left the room for 15 minutes
I prayed a prayer for God to show me the truth and help me do this work the way He wanted it done
Before my sponsor left,he told me to do that and write any name that came to my mind before it disappeared.I looked for anger,not just resentment

anger

I looked at all the people,institutions,and principles that I had been angry with in the past or was angry with today.
I listed them as fast as i could
The time for analyzing would come later promised my sponsor,don`t think,just write because we can think our way out of writing down a name or 2 or 200

we need to also see what a big part our anger has played in our lifes and how it has blocked us off from others,Including our HP
in 15 minutes he returned
i had either 1 1/2 pages or 2 pages of names
I ended up with over 500 names on my list
one of the reasons for this is to trust and rely on God to show us what He wants us to see,and we just need to follow simple directions and write out that grudge list
