I just wanted to share this about the 8th step list I had written. I've seen the many people I hurt and as a result somehow all my resentments melted away. How can I not give mercy and forgive to some extent. Their are those events that simply cannot be forgiven or forgotten. In my case they melted away because I was now on the other side seeking mercy and forgiveness. Some days they do creep back in with a few individuals, but I have steps 10-12 to maintain these resentments. It really amazes me. I called up my sponsor and said hey these resentments in my 4th step are not eating me alive any more. We both agreed that the program. How can I continue to hold bitterness in my heart when I've done the same things and maybe even worst. I needed to humble myself before my Higher Power...
