April 9, 2015 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

The Serenity Prayer
Step by Step
Thursday, April 9, 2015
 
Today, I'll experience freedom from resentments and feel relief from the weight that is required to carry them. If I ask my Higher Power to take from me no other character defect, I will focus primarily on the one that can be as catastrophic as alcohol, sometimes even more catastrophic. If I can be resentment-free for just one day, I may learn that continuing to harbor grudges is not worth the relief and freedom that come when I let them go - and not take them back. Today, I ask my Higher Power that I may feel the freedom from resentments and all their residual garbage - anger, isolation, revenge and the knowledge that I am allowing them to control me. For 24 Hours, I am a resentment-free zone. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2015
