AA Thought for the Day

May 26, 2004

Resentment

This business of resentment is infinitely grave.
We found that it is fatal.
For when harboring such feelings
we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the Spirit.
The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again.
And with us, to drink is to die.
If we were to live, we had to be free of anger.

Thought to Ponder....

Resentment is like taking poison
and waiting for the other person to die.
