Breaking Free from Resentment: A Path to Healing and Recovery
Our literature says that resentment's the number one offender and that it destroys more alcoholics than anything else.
Resentment can be a silent killer in the journey of addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Relevant Recovery Radio', hosts Heather and Donnie Mosher dive into how these deep-seated feelings can derail sobriety and mental health. Resentment, often called the number one offender in addiction, has the power to destroy more lives than we realize. But how do you let go of such intense emotions?
Heather and Donnie share their personal experiences and insights, highlighting the importance of Step Four in the recovery process. This step involves taking a fearless moral inventory, which means looking honestly at your own actions and feelings. Through this self-reflection and a willingness to connect with a higher power, they believe it's possible to break free from the chains of resentment. The journey isn't easy, though.
The Moshers discuss the difference between justified and imaginary resentments, and the tough task of forgiving those who may never change. Donnie shares his own story, revealing how his second attempt at Step Four brought him a deeper understanding of his role in his own resentments. This episode is a candid and inspiring look at the power of forgiveness and self-reflection.
Join Heather and Donnie on their spiritual walk as they explore how to release resentment and embrace a life filled with peace and service to others.
