resentments
Drink's wearing off...too angry to give into sleep. Resentments are boiling up in me. Holy frog where did these come from? I'm so ANGRY! I don't want this. I don't like this. My right eye won't stop twitching. I'm in a panic....eff...eff...eff....
I used to get a twitchy right eye too, what's that all about? I hope you feel better DG. It's amazing that one drink can make you feel so bad. I had that in my tapering days. It is so much freer without drinking at all x

Ahh....resentments....the number one offender, as the book says.
If people would just act the way I want them to. If they would just realize what they are doing, and go by my standards, everything would be ok. Hell, it's their fault that I need to drink anyway. Etc, etc.
Leaning tolerance for others takes a bit of effort. The AA program has certainly helped me.
All the best.

I have a lot of resentment. I don't know where to put them.
They are less important when I am sober though.
Unless I develop amnesia I am stuck with them.
I have a twitching eye sometimes. I always wonder if I'm losing my mind.
The drinking is not helping you at all. It is that way for everyone.

There are differences between honest anger and resentment. Resentments are a re-feeling and remembering of real or imagined wrongs against us, with anger used in a negative fashion to nourish the resentment.
I think it important to not throw out the baby with the bath water when we sort out anger and resentments. Take it easy with yourself as you continue with your detox. Lot's of time to sort things out as the hours and days go by at this initial stage.
Be kind to yourself.

robby is very wise.
i got the same 'baby with the bath water' response from someone that was very wise onetime and it offended me, but there is much wisdom in this, but may take time to understand.
thanks robby for reminding me of this.
you're a good guy.
also, without giving a ton of thought to everything, it seems anger is more in the moment. resentment is more of a sick nostalgia.
i have some difficult things i need to let go of too, but really if i consider the other options... just let it go.
