How Al-Anon and God Helped Me Let Go of Hate and Resentment

Hello, I'm Bobbie, and I want to tell you how Al-Anon and my belief in God helped me overcome hate and resentment in my life. You see, I used to feel really angry and hurt because it seemed like the only thing people did was support my problems and agree with my mistakes. But I learned that there's a better way to find support and live a healthier life, and that's through the 12 steps of recovery.


Before I found Al-Anon and God, I was struggling with a lot of negative feelings. I was angry at the people in my life, especially those who were close to me. I couldn't understand why they would just go along with my bad choices and never really help me change. It made me feel even more frustrated and alone.


One day, I heard about Al-Anon, a group that helps people like me who have loved ones with addiction problems. They taught me that it's essential to let go of hate and resentment because holding onto those feelings only hurts me more. It's like carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks wherever I go.


Al-Anon also showed me the importance of finding strong people who are living the 12 steps of recovery. These steps are like a roadmap to a better life. They help you focus on your own growth and happiness, rather than trying to change others. It's like building a better you, step by step.


One of the most important things I learned in Al-Anon is that I can't control other people's actions or choices. I can only control how I react to them. This was a big revelation for me. It meant that I had to stop trying to fix everyone else and start working on myself.


Believing in God also played a crucial role in my journey. It gave me strength and hope. I learned to pray and ask for guidance. It helped me let go of my anger and resentment by forgiving those who had hurt me. Forgiveness isn't for them; it's for me, so I can move forward and be happier.


As I started living the 12 steps of recovery, I found that there are many strong and supportive people in Al-Anon who understood what I was going through. They became like a second family to me. We shared our stories and helped each other heal. It was amazing to know that I wasn't alone and that there were people who genuinely cared about my well-being.


So, if you're feeling like the only thing people offer is support for your problems and mistakes, remember that there's a better way. Al-Anon and believing in God can help you let go of hate and resentment. And by living the 12 steps of recovery, you'll find strong people who will support your journey to a happier and healthier life.


I'm proof that it can work, and I hope that you can find the same peace and support that I did. It's never too late to start your journey toward healing and happiness.





You gottawanna be free. I love you and hope you find true happiness and freedom. Let go enjoy the new you and move on with peace and love.
