THE CAUSE OF SPIRITUAL SICKNESS -
"Resentment is the
'number one offender.'
It destroys more alcohol-
ics than anything else. From
it stems all forms of spiritual
disease, for we have been
not only mentally and phys-
ically ill, we have been
spiritually sick." (The
Big Book, p. 64)
MAKING A LIST -
"We make a list
of our resentments,
for they often play a
large part in making our
recovery uncomfortable.
We cannot allow our-
selves to be obsess-
ed with hostility to-
ward others." (It
Works, How &
Why, p.
30)
"Holding on
to anger, resent-
ment and hurt only
gives you tense mus-
cles, a headache and
a sore jaw from clench-
ing your teeth. Forgive-
ness gives you back
the laughter and
the lightness in
your life."
