Just Let Someone Cross Me!

WHEN I think I have my numerous character defects under control, when I feel I aim trustworthy, helpful, friendly, kind, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent, just let someone cross me! Anger quickly gives new life to resentment. When I am resentful, I become very important in my own eyes. I decide I should not be treated in this manner, because I am me! The big ego takes over, and if corrective measures do not follow, a drink can be the end result. Have any of you ever found your own big ego again in command? If so, what did you do to reacquire that comfortable feeling of not running the show? "Let go and let God"? "Made a decision . . ."?
