Living Sober Chapter 15
Watching out for anger and resentments
The Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen.

"Watching Out for Anger and Resentments" is a must for any alcoholic striving for emotional well-being and healthier relationships. Delving into the complexities of anger and resentment, this gem of wisdom offers invaluable guidance on recognizing and managing these powerful emotions.
