“I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more.”

Chief Joseph  Nez Perce

For if an alcoholic failed to enlarge and perfect his spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could not survive the certain trails and low spots ahead. If he did not work, he would surely drink again, and if he drank, he would surely die.

Big Book  pgs. 14 & 15

Resentment is the "number one" offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else.  From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick. When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.
