I just read "5 people you meet in heaven"... And I got some pretty good "ohhh, ok now I get it" moments. But, lookin at my resentments, I'm still kinda like "WTF you do that for?" And then I realized, there was this event that divided my life... Similar to BC vs AD. and I realized... I thought if I focused all my attention on making sure I never made (what I thought was) that mistake again, i would never feel the same way again. I was wrong, I can't really control that stuff. Much less my emotions. Who knew? Thank hp for realizations. Also... Today was the first day I finally said "nothing, I just can't stand myself right now" instead of misplacing my emotions and letting them run rampid.

My friend e-mailed and said that her exA committed suicide. He had ended their 30 year marriage and basically cut their relationship off. She was bitter but she told me that she knew that she would have to forgive him because she would meet him in heaven. She said that a warm light came over her when she held that thought of forgiveness. I am not there with my AHSober but I hope to be. I don't know about heaven but I can appreciate my friend's forgiveness.
The book is short. The illustration your mind can imagine while reading is much better than any type of budgeted movie. Do yourself a favor. Read it. It's as if you can actually feel the man.
