I’m a lot better managing resentments than in the past (especially when I was drinking) but some days it’s a serious struggle. I don’t latch onto them as intensely as I used to at least.
I hear you. For some reason, alcohol seems to go hand-in-hand with deep resentment. 12-step programs seem to help…Al-Anon has helped me a lot. The anger and hurt that accompany resentment can be so toxic! And so hard to let go of.
This was really lovely, thank you for sharing it.
Thanks, Patrick! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes 12 step helped me a lot w/this issue 👍
Love the analogy to a leaky faucet! This is exactly how resentment feels. Great essay. Thanks for sharing 🩵
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it…I liked this one too, they don’t always all come together smoothly but I felt like this one did.
