AA Thought for the Day

April 25, 2002

Resentments

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 (including sex)
were hurt or threatened.
So we were sore. We were "burned up."

Thought to Ponder....

We are prisoners of our own resentments.
Forgiveness unlocks the door and sets us free.
