Do you want to be right, or do you want to be free?

In recovery, we often hear the words irritable, restless and discontent. One of the biggest blockages that keeps us in this state is holding onto past resentments or ‘justified anger.’

The problem is, until you can release the resentment, you will never be free. Justified or not.

Resentment is very much like you drinking the poison and waiting for the other party to suffer.

Letting go of your resentment is the key to your freedom.

Will you have to do some work to get there? Absolutely. There are is a spiritual path waiting for you to help to get you to the other side.

There is no value in being right at the expense of your freedom.

Choose to be free today. Why? Because you deserve it.

One day at a time. I choose to be free rather than angry because others don’t accept my “wisdom”. I need new people who choose to not engage in hot topics. I need a meeting. No political talk allowed. It’s a safe space.

It’s so ironic that you get what you need in sobriety I’ve have felt everything especially in the last 6 years I have let it all go it’s been hard carrying all the weight of what has been hurting me they teach you to breath and it’s one foot in front of the other I’m open to everything that is positive change in my life letting go finding peace is the only way to feel a little free not holding on any longer was the best decision anyone can make in recovery open to the ones who care enough I’ve learned to focus on the ones who want to change their lives the ones that care enough to help you grow pray pray and pray more god helps me on this journey understand that it has to sometimes be about me isn’t easy but I’m getting there​:pray:t3::sparkles:

The Big Book is right. Resentments are our number 1 offender. We have to let them go. God helps us. There are 12 steps to freedom. It's a journey that will keep us sober and free. It taught me how to live a sober life. Now I have a life of joy and peace. Thank God!
