Resentment

I heard somebody yesterday mention the Four Rs and then talk about Resentment (which I s uppose is one of them ). And I didn’t ask her after the meeting what it meant. What does it mean? What are they ?

For the moment, I’m going to make up my own — Remorse, Regret, Repression, Re…. So maybe I don’t know what they mean because they don’t sound like any fun ! and I’m not very compelled to find out.

I do know that living in “RE” means I’m doing something again, keeping something alive, REplaying something in my head or heart, and without saying whether that’s constructive or not, I do know that it definitively means that I’m not paying attention to THIS, this precious moment of my life. Where I am in RE, I am giving away the here and now. Being Present is a gift of sobriety I’d never even thought of years ago. I love being HERE.

Almost always, everything is just fine… right here, right now. I just let go of a big breath and breathed in a nice gulp of “All is Well!”

Take care… Tom
