Breaking Free from Resentment: Insights from Recovery Road

Resentment is fatal. You already know what happens once you start to drink or use drugs, and you also know that for an alcoholic or addict, continuing to drink or use leads to misery or death. Once your resentments and anger cause you to take a drink or use, you're on the road to disaster.
Have you ever felt weighed down by resentment? In this episode of 'Recovery Road', William C Moyers tackles how holding onto these negative feelings can seriously derail your recovery journey. Drawing from the book 'A Program for You: A Guide to the Big Book's Design for Living', Moyers highlights the many ways resentment can manifest and become a stumbling block in your path to sobriety.
Whether it's replaying painful memories or harboring grudges, these habits can create a cycle of self-harm and hinder your progress. Moyers emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and releasing these emotions to make room for positive feelings and true healing. Through practical examples and relatable anecdotes, this episode offers valuable insights on overcoming resentment and making meaningful strides in your recovery. Tune in to discover how letting go can pave the way for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
