[Your] adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter 3:3-4 (Read all of 1 Peter 3)
King James Version
Anger and resentment are two of the #1 reason for relapse of any substance. How many times did we pick up and said, "I'll show them!" Be it a drink, a piece of chocolate cake, or took off to work and ignored him. I thought it ironic that Bible Tools didn't have a Bible verse under these names, I could have found them under sin and temptation, but that is not how I choose to look at them.
For me, the solution is prayer. I was told to pray for the person I was angry at and was resentful of, and I found I got better in about two weeks, if I kept it up.
