Resentment-- a disease

 Resentment can be as a disease as powerful as any addiction and it can be just as toxic. i need to be convinced of that to be willing to take the powerful measures needed to be rid of my anger and its recounting.  Reflection in the light of Spirit, truth and the recurrent pain may or may not convince me.  In the 12 step programs, there is a method of writing that helps reveal the underlying truth of what we are doing to ourselves in stuffing, stowing, otherwise ignoring or carrying our anger inside.
