AA Thought for the Day

Burned Up
In dealing with resentments, we set them on paper. We listed
people, institutions or principles with whom we were angry.
We asked ourselves why we were angry. In most cases it was
found that our self-esteem, our pocketbooks, our ambitions, our
personal relationships (including sex) were hurt or threatened.
So we were sore. We were "burned up."
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (How It Works) pp. 64 - 65
Thought to Ponder
Resentment is like acid, eating away at the vessel it is stored in.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Grateful to serve,
