Great recovery there Kaneda - best wishes as always - and congrats on your sober time
Congratulations too, to ByTheBay and Least
Altoids - good luck with dealing with your resentment. A book called
The Shack helped me a lot with the concept of forgiveness...
“Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat......
Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.........Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive. But should they finally confess and repent, you will discover a miracle in your own heart that allows you to reach out and begin to build between you a bridge of reconciliation.........Forgiveness does not excuse anything.........You may have to declare your forgiveness a hundred times the first day and the second day, but the third day will be less and each day after, until one day you will realize that you have forgiven completely. And then one day you will pray for his wholeness......”
― Wm. Paul Young, The Shack

The very best place you could be is here NeoNew.
Your addiction would love to cleave you away from recovery support.
I hope you reconsider. Don't let the addiction win.
