Does anyone here have any experience dealing with resentment? If so, what did you do to deal with such issues?
Gus, yes, lots of them. We need to understand our mind will always grind on something that happened when were 10 or 15....Lot of forgiveness. People who hurt us, were spiritually sick too. If they were in the right mind, they woldn't have done that. We squander lot of hours over it. We are shut of from the sunlight of the spirit. That will lead us back into booze and we will be stuck in that vicious cycle.
You said you had been to AA meetings. Grab a big book if you already have not done so. As you go through the book when it comes to "how it works" it talks about Resentment being number one offender of an alcohol. Its so true. And they walk us through on how to get over that. We also look at our part. Sometimes our part is just carrying that forever and not sharing with others and letting it go.
I have used this site on and off over the last few years. I used this site a lot the last time I quit ( I stopped drinking for almost 3 years). I found great advice and support from everyone. I’m back here again because I’m tired of making stupid decisions when intoxicated. I thought I could manage drinking, but it seems like it’s managing me instead. So time to hit the brakes.
I have a lot of resentment from when I was younger that I need to deal with. It seems like when those feelings arise, i want to reach for something to numb the pain. I’m stopping reaching for the bottle. It never resolves it - it just leaves me in a worse state.
