Resentments
Selfishness -- self-centeredness!  That, we think, is the root of our troubles.
Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate.
Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that in some time in the past
we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt.
So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 62

Thought to Ponder . . .
Resentment is like acid, eating away at the vessel it is stored in.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
S W A T = Surrender, Willingness, Action, Trust.

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,
