I love the tenth step because I can make things right, square them with others, admit my wrongs and not sit on resentment for long.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-40729723679970407032011-10-27T05:33:05.403-07:002011-10-27T05:33:05.403-07:00The title of this post caught my eye.

Learning to live in an unjust world does mean letting go of many things but at least you are healthy that way. I like how you remind us that the people who hurt us are in their own place in life and hurting and trying too.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-19357731274895297062011-10-26T21:16:14.173-07:002011-10-26T21:16:14.173-07:00Wonderful post...Thanks!Wonderful post...Thanks!ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-59834599505712960082011-10-26T17:40:21.829-07:002011-10-26T17:40:21.829-07:00Amen Sister....Amen Sister....G-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968807697181554781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-40283630169503566072011-10-26T17:21:55.221-07:002011-10-26T17:21:55.221-07:00Resentment nurtures no one.

Seems like a lot of smart people are alcholics. It's like the smoking break room at my old job where all the fun people hung out. Makes me want to nurture my vices. I already have a bunch of mortal sins to my credit. If I believe church teaching I'm going to hell for sure.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-6610037838406711522011-10-26T15:42:19.753-07:002011-10-26T15:42:19.753-07:00"the one who changes is not the world, but yo..."the one who changes is not the world, but you" <br /><br />I remember after about a year of practicing the principles, I realized that to be true.

After my baby son was injured at his birth by a greedy selfish and careless doctor, after 4 years of justice battle we still undergo, after realizing that the whole system is a pure shit that works for only few of them, I became, all the same like you, to the conclusions that giving grace & unearned forgivness is the only way. And I believe you that in AA meetings you may meet wonderful people. Those who have been through 'some stuff' (whatever that may be) and who try to put the broken pieces of the puzzle together may be the best people ... much love and thank you!Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891761282823761830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-86247888197124804682011-10-26T07:53:13.918-07:002011-10-26T07:53:13.918-07:00As someone who 'takes things personally' a...As someone who 'takes things personally' a lot and has real difficulty letting go of gripes and resentments, this post was very welcome. I particularly like "learn to stay out of the bad neighborhood that is your own selfish head" - that's definitely a neighbourhood I need to stay away from.

It can re- launch me into space- (whether there is any light around it depends on how tired, hungry or reckless I am at that point in time.) The fellowship has taught me to install some large stop signs at various rims and voids.<br />Prayer and forgiveness; dropping the hot potato- (letting go) are precious!
