Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Letting go of anger
As long as anger dominates us, it is difficult to make progress in the program. Some of the ways anger shows up include gossip, slander, backstabbing, profanity, fault-finding, resentment, quarrelsomeness, impatience, mockery, and irritability. We are all guilty of these behaviors to some degree, probably every day.
Anger is a pattern that we need to change to make progress. It has probably caused more grief than any other character defect. To let go of anger, we inventory it; we pray to release it and to practice not getting angry.
Am I working on my anger?
Higher Power, help me to practice the virtues of patience and love. When I am loving, I cannot be angry.
I will inventory my anger today, and then I will…
