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.
Lots of opportunities to resent these days. Resentment will destroy me if I do not have a way to treat it. Resentment serves me disease. I will become mentally ill and physically ill if I don't see it as a very negative and non-essential thing. It is more contagious than the coronavirus.
When resentful I directly face the object or reality creating the resentment. I ask it why it is asking me to feel negative. I ask it why I must feel how it wants me to feel. I ask it how those feelings will affect my goals in life. I ask it how it's persuasion will want me to feel about the future of my life. I ask it how it is making me treat other people. After I answer honestly, I see that resentment can do no other than create a less productive agenda for myself and others.
I then can take all my stock out of resentment and can replace it in God's will, and God's way of life, which is for me not to resent anything.
If my mind has conditioned itself to resent naturally, this will not be easy initially, but with practice it will become second nature. I start to see where I am wrong, or where I make mistakes, and that removes the deadly resentments.
I see that those resentment are all being supported by selfishness, fear, dishonesty, and inconsideration regarding my fellow human beings. If I can correctly replace those four things with unselfishness, courage, honesty, and consideration for all, I just might have a chance.
What do you do when resentment intrudes your happiness?

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...


mind does to keep us in this hell. Our resentments are all based on past, untrue, negative beliefs we have about ourselves from our past and it helps to write it down. I think you will find the following very helpful .

Thankyou for posting Fred. You actually helped me today!

My first real hiking boots were Italian made and lasted through many years and climbs. A few years ago I was excited to find the same model and they lasted a year. Looking at the company I found that the product comes from China now. I used them to mow the lawn until they got wet and the soles came off. What if I had been two weeks out in the back country? I would have resented that.
