Character Liabilities:
The liabilities they mention are RESENTMENT, FEAR,
SELFISHNESS, DISHONESTY, INCONSIDERATION, JEAL-
OUSY, SUSPICION,
and BITTERNESS. For clarity, we have substituted FALSE PRIDE for INCONSIDERATION, ENVY
for SUSPICION and LAZINESS for BITTERNESS. These liabilities, along with their corresponding assets, are also mentioned in the June 1946 issue of The AA. Grapevine. You can use either the original or our modified Big Book liabilities list as a guide for your Fourth Step inventory.

Resentment:
We are now going to define these shortcomings in away that, hopefully, will provide a clearer understanding of their meaning. Let’s start with RESENTMENT, which is the consequence of being angry or bitter toward someone for an extended period of time over some real or imagined insult. It is a hostile or indignant attitude in response to an alleged affront or personal injury.
