my daily reflections…

as i have sat around the rooms, watched, and listened to people, i have to believe this is true. i know it was fer me, as i look back. i let resentment control my emotions and actions. today, with help from God, my sponsor, and the 12 spiritual principles, i have been taught ways to manage my number one offender, resentment, effectively. but they only work if i let the steps work their magic in my life, lettin go of resentment, is an action recovery has taught me how to live. the spiritual sickness i suffered from my alcoholism, came from many forms of resentment. my sponsor taught me, i needed to treat resentment as one of the worst symptoms of my alcoholic behaviors. he taught me, when it strikes, many other of my core character defects and shortcomins will appear. he said selfishness, dishonesty, loneliness, and fear were close behind and that i should deal with resentment immediately. he taught me to write my resentments out, analyze em as any scientist would a disease or plague, so i may find out where they came from, and then use the tools of my recovery to defeat em. he told me my resentments had the power to kill, not only others spiritual well bien, but mine as well. he suggested i treat those who may be, perhaps, spiritually sick, with empathy, understandin, compassion, forgiveness, and love; he told me, love and tolerance is our code. he said it was of the utmost importance, i remember these carin emotions when i am feelin spiritually sick, to use em as i would fer another on myself too. these incredibly wise words have carried me through tough times. they were brought to me by my HP through others. i truly need to use em as tools to live by, in all of my affairs. 1 day @ a time…
