I totally needed to read this today! Yesterday I had an altercation with another man. I had lost my cool. I let my ego and pride get the best of me. I talked with my sponsor, I journaled it in my phone (at the time), and I will put it to paper. I have a hard time letting go of this type of resentments. This is the first one since my 5th step. I can say it feels like shit to be angry.
I made an amends via voicemail since he wouldn’t pick up the phone. I’ll reach out again.
At some point I will have to just let it go. I had this feeling that God has removed this person from my life because of how negative this person is around me. I have to put all my trust into God. I’m not running the show anymore. This will take practice. Lots of practice.
As for the reading; I’m ok with this man talking behind my back. I don’t need to worry what others say or think about me. I’m here to help. I’m human. I’m willing to learn more about myself and how to be resilient.
Any thoughts about the read? Have you had a similar experience recently? How did you handle it?
Have a wonderful day filled with love and peace within my friends!
