'Live And Let Live'
It is very easy to use other people's actions as an alibi for drinking.  We used to be experts at it.
But in sobriety, we have learned a new technique:
We never let ourselves get so resentful toward someone else that we allow that person to control our lives --
especially to the extent of causing us to drink.
We have found we have no desire to let any other person run, or ruin, our lives.
- Living Sober, p. 12

Thought to Ponder . . .
Those who anger me, conquer me.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A N G E R = Any New Grudge Endangers Recovery.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
