Getting sober often leaves us and our families with a long list of hurt feelings. We can resent people, organizations and ourselves.
Hanging our hats on resentments, holding them close and nurturing them only serves to feed them. Just like expectations, resentments tend to repopulate given the chanc...

Comfortably Unhappy
I hate this concept. It is the golden cage of work, home and play. The sound for comfortably unhappy is “meh” ( expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm).

This is the third in a series of podcasts about resentments. This one gives specifics on how to rid your self of resentments. Here is why:
By holding onto the resentment I have to wait until they realize what they did to free me from my self-imposed prison. The one thing a resentment does well; it provides me with an opportunity to re-injure myself over and over with my own thoughts and feelings.
