Resentment/Forgiveness


“Resentment will do nothing except tear us apart inside.  No one ever
found serenity through hatred.  No one ever truly recovered from the
effects of alcoholism by harboring anger or fear or by holding onto
grudges….Forgiveness is no favor.  We do it for no one but
ourselves….Although we may despise what others have done, if we keep in mind that
everything we are now trying to do has the goal of healing us, we are bound to
decide that the best thing we can do for ourselves is to forgive.”  
How Al-Anon Works for Families and Friends of Alcoholics pages 86 - 87
