Northeastern Maryland Intergroup of AA

. . . watching out for anger and resentments

"Hostility, resentment, anger - whatever word you use to describe this feeling - seems to have a close tie-up with intoxication and maybe even a deeper one with alcoholism. . . resentment is a luxury that, as alcoholics, we cannot afford. For us, all anger is self-destructive, because it can lead back to drinking. . . when we begin to get teed off at something," we can "pick up the phone and talk about it to our sponsor or other recovered alcoholics."
