could have worked up a resentment over it

what is Recovery ??
are resentments truly the #1 offender for the alcoholic ??

looking back to many years ago with just short of three years sober
in a marriage with a very unloving wife
we had an argument and my resentments were great at the time
without much thought
and just to show her how truly mad I was
I went down the mountain to the store and bought a six pack of beer
brought them back home and sat on the couch with my beer in a bag
she looked at the bag and asked "is that a six pack of beer"
I said "yes, and I'm going to drink them all"
I only drank a couple that day
but
in short time full blow drinking was back on

today
yes, resentments still creep back in
but
I have learned to deal with them ASAP
which at times really is not ASAP

my cousin let me and my Sponsor down recently on a business deal
man was this getting to me
and he's even in the Program and sober for many, many years
yesterday I finally let it all go
what's it really add up to anyway ??
I must say -- in the long run -- next to nothing

are resentments your #1 offender
what can you share with us regarding that ??
