It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick. When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically. In dealing with resentments, we set them on paper. We listed people, institutions or principles with whom we were angry. We asked ourselves why we were angry. In most cases it was found that our self-esteem, our pocketbooks, our ambitions, our personal relationships\r\nYour thoughts, experience, hope\r\np.62\r\nWhatever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity?\r\nSelfishness - self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt.\r\nSo our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.\r\nYour thoughts, experience, hope\r\np. 66\r\nIt is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness. \r\nYour thoughts, experience, hope\r\np.70\r\nWe have listed and analyzed our resentments. We have begun to comprehend their futility and their fatality. We have commenced to see their terrible destructiveness. We have begun to learn tolerance, patience and good will toward all men, even our enemies, for we look on them as sick people. We have listed the people we have hurt by our conduct, and are willing to straighten out the past if we can.\r\nYour thoughts, experience, hope\r\n ","author_name":"Recovered Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/recoveredcast.com","html":"
