Thank goodness!

The point was that it wasn’t worth the instance or effort. What does being an alcoholic or a drug addict have to do with any of that?

“Look to Ourselves…To Retain The Peace.”

“It is a spiritual axiom that every day we are disturbed no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us.

If somebody hurts us and we are sore, we are in the wrong additionally. Anger wasn’t worth the date or effort considering the stakes are so incredibly high for a drug addict & alcoholic.

I just don’t have the luxury of being incredibly & justifiably angry anymore considering that leads to ego which leads to the delusion that I can drink and/or use drugs again.

“The persistence of the illusion is astonishing” it says in Chapter 5, How it Works. Of course I had the right to

be angry about anything I wanted. In my case, it meant going to alcohol & drug rehab. The point wasn’t whether or not I had the right to be angry about something. I remember being angry about not being able to be angry. Could that be part of the craziness that goes on in a Drug Rehab Facility??

I was way to wrapped up in myself to know anything at all. We have found that justified anger ought to be left to those better qualified to handle it.”

I remember being really angry when I first used to build out about that principal. Who’s going to tell me whether or not I can be angry? When astonished by something and in need of help, it’s probably a good view to go to those who are familiar with the problem, able & willing to help. Indeed.
