The positive value of righteous indignation is theoretical--especially for alcoholics. It leaves every one of us open to the rationalization that we may be as angry as we like provided we can claim to be righteous about it.
Today I am grateful...
- that it is realistic to know I will be taken care of
- that I am not nearly as superstitious as I was before recovery
- to have joy in my life
- for beautiful and caring loved ones
- that I see life as good and the glass full
When we harbored grudges and planned revenge for defeats, we were really beating ourselves with the club of anger we had intended to use on others. We learned that if we were seriously disturbed, our very first need was to quiet that disturbance, regardless of who or what we thought caused it.

I'm a lot less superstitious now. Never thought about it till you
brought it up. I'm going to reflect on why that is.
Heck, I'll be righteously indignated if I wanna be, no matter what (hic) you shay or do about it. And she if I (hic) care!
Ah, the luxury of justified anger is something I must leave to saner beings.
I am a day late to say Good morning to Scott, but good morning anyway.
