Re: Anger....enemy and old friend

I can relate to what you wrote. Although I have not been clean as long as you have. I am 2 days shy of having 3 months clean, but I get angry most at myself. I dont get angry to much at others. I have this enternal anger that I know if I dont keep check on it, it will led me back into active addiction. I am going through something right now in fact that I am angry at myself for but I have to remember in times like this to give it over to my HP. Thanks for your experience, strength and hope.

Re: Anger....enemy and old friend

(By Rose, Pray and it really does help) This was written on my 52nd belly button birthday and its where I am in my recovery. My sponser told me to get on my knees everytime I get out of bed in the morning and before I get in bed at night. I know that I am only supposed to pray for God's will and to pray for those who I have resentments towards. When I began I could remember easily who those people were but as I go on I forget who it was originally and pray for still more and more people!Sometimes I am at a loss and go astray when I pray! Sober 15 months and trudging along! AA has helped save my life and I am grateful today and less resentful! The promises are coming true one day at a time!

I come from a long line of angry drinkers

I come from a long line of alcoholics. I think I was born angry and am just now realizing how angry I really was. I think my anger became the main focus of my life when I had my first beer at age 17 in 1972. I have been an angry alcoholic ever since.

I am now 55 and with the help of AA, my wife, my Higher Power and just sheer will I do not get angry as often as I use to. I do not let those things in the past that use to infuriate me make me angry.

Now I try to step back and check myself before I get angry with life. I need AA to keep me on tract and I need each of you to help me stay there.

Thanks for all your posts.
