It is amazing what a resentment can do, it eats up your soul. I realized earlier that I had a resentment towards a person who has been in my life for a long time, even before I came into recovery. I got a phone message and her voice warned me it might not be good to call her back, but waited 4 hours until I had eaten and rested from going downtown and back. A friend gave me a book called "Energy Vampire." I forgot how much of a taker she was, and I seldom see her these days. The energy in her home is not good for me. After I talked to her, I did a meditation and my card said, "You have to drop relationships who no longer serve you." I introduced her to Al-Anon and her hubby to AA, she doesn't go to meetings but reads the literature. Her husband started DRA (Dual Recovery Anonymous) and she has gone to a few meeting there. Then I was upset because I was being judgmental and when I pulled an angel card that said, "You are a Lightworker and you carry the message of Love." Hadn't been very loving in my attitude, so had to do some praying. They moved from an apartment to their first house. I haven't been to see it, yet there is something within me that just doesn't want to go there. The bus service is not good, but that is no excuse, yet the weather has to be good for me to be mobile. The rain and storm really affected me and I have been through the worst week that I can remember when it comes to pain. I found I was resenting that instead of being accepting. If I don't come from a place of acceptance, it can't change. I know that, and yet there has been a part of me that was resisting. To heal a resentment we are asked to pray for them. My sponsor suggested that I pray and ask for them, everything that I would like to have for myself. i.e. health, happiness, and prosperity. She also said, "It won't hurt to ask for them to have a spiritual awakening, so they can change and heal for themselves." A resentment is the #1 reason for relapse, followed closely by guilt. ![]()
