3) I discovered I still am harboring some bitterness towards someones (I think this is the biggie).
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Would self discipline be the answer? It wasn't for me because I always ran out of puff. I was incapable of disciplining myself to not drink.
Resentment is the other important factor. There is no right or wrong about the deed, or the other person. The problem lies in our reation to whatever it is. That may be our part, choosing to hang onto somehting and relive the hurt over and over. That is what damages us, and forgiveness is the answer.
I loved what Dee posted about that and I also recommend The Shack . In my own experience I have forgivien people, but as there was no contrition on their part, I don't trust them and I would not put myself in a position where they could do the same thing again.
