FREE FROM RESENTMENT: HOW TO RELEASE THE POISON THAT'S STEALING YOUR PEACE

"Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die." For more than thirty years, Abel Netzahualpilly Hernández believed he was fighting alcohol and drugs. What he didn't see was that underneath the addiction was something older and darker: decades of accumulated resentment against everyone who had hurt him. On March 23, 2025, after working the Fourth and Fifth Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, he found what thirty years of willpower never gave him - freedom. **Free from Resentment** is the book Abel wished someone had handed him decades earlier. Part memoir, part practical guide, it walks you through everything he learned about the grudges that quietly poison our health, our relationships, our faith, and our peace of mind - and exactly how to let them go. Inside, you'll discover: - What resentment really is, and why it's different from ordinary anger - How chronic resentment damages your body, your mind, your relationships, and your sobriety - A step-by-step method (adapted from the AA Fourth Step) to identify your own resentments, with a full worked example - Why forgiveness isn't a religious obligation or a favor to the person who hurt you - it's the medicine you give yourself - Practical exercises you can start using today >You don't need to be in recovery to need this book. You don't need any particular faith, though if you have one, it's honored here. You just need to be willing to consider that you deserve to live lighter than you have been living. Whoever you're still fighting - a parent, a partner, a friend, yourself - there is a way out. Abel found it. And in these pages, he shows you the way.
