I had fanned it, I had fed it, I had fanned it, and nurtured it as one might a delicate child.
In this episode of Sober Cast, Lindell V from Las Vegas shares his heartfelt journey of dealing with deep-seated resentments. Drawing from 'As Bill Sees It', reading #39, Lindell opens up about his struggles and the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). His story is a raw and honest account of how unresolved resentments, especially those from childhood, can fuel alcoholism and personal turmoil.
Through vivid anecdotes, Lindell illustrates how he nurtured his resentment like a delicate child, letting it justify his failures and alcoholism. He recounts a pivotal moment when he confronted his mother about past traumas, only to face denial and further emotional pain. This candid reflection serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing and releasing resentments for true recovery. Lindell's journey is not just about the pain but also about the hope and healing that AA offers.
He speaks passionately about the steps he took, including making amends and finding a higher power, which ultimately led to his spiritual awakening. With humour and humility, Lindell shares a story about an alcoholic who jumps into a ditch to help another, symbolising the AA fellowship's spirit of mutual support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with resentments or seeking inspiration on their path to sobriety.
