The Good Within the Enemy

I ALWAYS thought "Forgive and forget" was a beautiful maxim. But I expected others to live up to it, while I gave it only lip service. So, for nearly six years now, I have been plodding along and slugging away at resentments. Part of the time, my progress has seemed to be remarkable. The rest of the time, about all I can say is that I was still slugging. In itself, the effort diverted my attention from that first drink, though it served no other purpose.
