The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous page 66 It is plain to see that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness. My live was infinitely different before the first time I ever worked the 12-steps. It continues to evolve as I redo them. Boy did I "squander the hours" of my life . I was full of anger and resentment! As the book goes on saying; "For the alcoholic whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience...Resentment is infinitely grave." So what do I do daily if my hope to keep this new life? Just as it says I maintain my contact with God thru prayer and meditation, I continue my step work and I therefore have growth in my spiritual life. I ask you what are you doing to keep what you have today,What are you doing to have the reprieve from what ever your addiction may be? |
