I was talking to a friend who has been involved in NA for a Loooooong time... She has some great perspective sometimes when I tell her how I'm feeling toward certain situations I find myself in...<P>I told her that I set myself up for a fall last week.. I really blew it!!! I'm hoping that time will heal what I messed up, but even more so, I have to learn how not to do this again...<P>She said "Remember this... Expectations are premeditated resentments"<P>WOW this is still sinking in, but boy does it make sense!!!!!<P>cozy
