Life was never meant to be fair and the people living it are not meant to have whatever they want. It is a harsh lesson to learn but we all have to realize it so we can teach the same lesson to our kids.

Resentments against non alcoholic drinkers are common and I bet most us have cursed out a friend or two under our breath while they guzzle our favorite ale in front of us. But you aren't meant to live with resentments and allow them to interfere with your life in recovery. It will leave you bitter. And that resentment left unresolved could cost you your sobriety. Do you really want to start over at day 1 again because your buddy can drink and you can't? Your buddy is not an alcoholic. But you are. And you know you can't pick up without risking everything.

You need help with these resentments. I hope you can find some.
