"All life is a circle." Rolling Thunder
Cherokee It
is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility
and unhappiness. To the precise extent that we permit these, do we
squander the hours that might have been worth while. But with the
alcoholic, whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual
experience, this business of resentment is infinitely grave. We found that
it is fatal. For when harboring such feelings we shut ourselves off from
the sunlight of the Spirit. The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink
again. And with us, to drink is to die. Big Book pg. 66 Grandfather help us to live in happiness, teach to us live in the circle.
