Hmm. I am not so sure I resent not being able to drink. For the most part I really don't want to drink. I do resent being told what to do though. It's a bit immature, maybe, but it's part of my makeup and something I'm actually trying to work through.
Resentment is something I never really had to confront during the few times I've been able to stop, but I see it come up here a lot. Maybe I should read up on it. Any suggestions where I can get more information?
