Resentments kill

Forgiveness is good for your health. According to researchers, just letting go of the anger and resentment can make a huge difference in your mental and physical health. When you carry all that shit around, you just carry a heavy load on your own shoulders. Being mad at someone or something doesn't hurt that other person, it just hurts you.

That's why step four is so important. Making an inventory of all the people, places, things, and ideas that bug you and make you want to tear your hair out (or drink) helps you look at the things you're carrying around. It's like stopping the cab, pulling over and emptying your suitcase. Sometimes there are things in there you don't need to be carrying anymore.

AA also asks you to pray for others. When someone is being a pain, remember that they are sick, too, and you wouldn't treat a sick person poorly. When you pray for someone, it seems that it's easier to forgive them. So forgiveness is in order.

"Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting, condoning or excusing whatever happened. It’s acknowledging hurt and then letting it go, along with the burden of anger and resentment."

So let that burden go. Hop on over to steps four and five and get rid of that shit before it kills you.
