This is probably a stupid question but what exactly is the difference between anger and resentments? For me they have always gone hand in hand and led to pretty much the same results..... I asked my sponsor and was told to "ask other addicts".

anger is a feeling.resentment is putting that feeling into action.
say anger makes me feel mad.resentment is what happens when i stick a fork in my girlfreinds neck.acting out on the resentment.

to me, anger is the initial reaction that i feel when something does not go as i want it to or expect it to. resentment is when i hold on to that anger, let it grow inside my head, replay it over and over again, rather than just letting it go. anger is unavoidable. resentments are not.

For me anger is an emotion, it is the way I experience the world when I am not using. It is the pain of my present experience blasted all over anyone in the way. Anger is the absence of coping skills in my life that I used substances to cover up. Resentment is also part feeling, but also based in my diseased thought processes - I was angry and now I have angry thoughts - over and over and over and over - sometimes these thoughts become actions and change the way I act in life - this is the core of my resentment process. My anger is about hating you because I felt bad - resent ment is about hating you and me because neither of us could make me feel better. Thank God the "you" in my life today are people in the program who can show me the way to love, acceptance, and faith. Thanks and I'll pass. ;)
