Holding down our resentments, I have found to be important.
Not always easy -- but, best for the heart and our sobriety.
On a 1 to 10 scale I'm at about a -- 1
Knowing myself as I do, I'm sure that I won't stay that low for long.
I will work on it though.

Yesterday resentment level jumped very quickly to a 7 as a person came to mind.
Got rid of those thoughts and it fell to a 2.
We have much control over our thinking.
A man or woman is what they thinkith.

I'm finding that resentment levels can jump like Jackrabbits. Last night I had a fast 6 towards a couple of people (their self centerness got to me), then realizing that I have been guilty of the same, brought resentment level down quickly to a 2.
Prof that,
with our thinking we have much control -- although at times it will seem that we also need the help of a Higher Power.

Proof that,
With our thinking and without our drinking we have much control -- although at times it will seem that we also need the help of a Higher Power.

My resentment level has really been fluctuating.

" " " " " 11:15 PM -- " " 4
" " " " " 11:30 PM -- " " 2
This morning 6AM -- resentment level 5
" " 7AM " " 3
Seems there is a spiritual battle going on ?

Resentments been a battle here lately.
Jumping to fast sevens -- 7.
Using mind and heart to bring it back down to a 2.
Then when I least expect it back up to 7.
Straighten out my thinking -- back down to a 1 or 2.
A sober battle that I have been fighting for a while now.
They say that resentments are the alcoholics #1 offender -- dang me !!!

Maybe EGO also has something to do with resentment level ?
Seems my EGO ran just a little wild last night.
Woke this morning in a very humble mood.
Going to work (much harder) on keeping EGO in check.
Resentment level this morning at 5:21 AM -- 1.
Picking up a token at this mornings meeting -- good time to be grateful and humble.

Resentment level on a 1 to 10 scale
Holding what I think to be a 1 at this time.
Have had some rocky moments lately at times close to 5.
Much thought mixed with a little prayer works wonders.
I must also admit that I'm far from perfect.
Why would I expect from others what I do not at all times possess ?

I believe I've been carrying around a major resentment the past few weeks - probably hovering at like an 8 or 9 because of my thoughts regarding a loved one.
Last night I went to a step meeting and we discussed Step 4. Now, I haven't yet made it there, so I sat back and listened to everyone speak about their experiences. Unsurprisingly, resentment probably came up more than anything else. It was a meeting that I really needed at that moment.
Strangely enough (or not!), the object of this resentment has reached out to me today to mend some fences. Funny how things work out when we don't TRY so damn hard to control it?
