DAILY SLOGAN/SAYING: We may wonder how we are going to get through all the stages and phases, the levels of growth and recovery . . . Knowing we are not alone, knowing that we have the Al-Anon program, often quiets our fears and helps us gain perspective.

DAILY REFLECTION: We can practice forgiveness each day.
Resentments have a way of creeping back into my psyche even after I have let go of them. I know that holding a grudge is harmful to my emotional health and can threaten my abstinence, but what can I do when I keep feeling anger toward someone?
In the interest of recovery, in my own best interest, I can continue to forgive each day. I may not be able to forgive the person once and for all, but I can do it right now, just for today. With practice, who knows? Perhaps the resentment will disappear.
When I remember that my own track record is far from perfect, I realize I could use some daily forgiveness too, both from others and from myself.
Just for now, I can let go of resentments and forgive. If resentments come back, I can forgive again.
