Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Resentment is the Number One offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have also been spiritually ill. When our spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.
In dealing with our 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.

No one can give me that resentment.
By thinking things through with that in mind I am able to address things very quickly within myself and let things go. Or talk about it. Or if needed, work through the resentment to find my part and the true cause of it.
1) Look at my part to see where amends are due
2) Look at my part to see my character defects that I will ask to be removed
3) Use the sentiment of the resentment prayer (pg 67).
I use inventory with the first columns as you post gjm and then another two columns with "affects my" and then "my part".
Peace!
