Anger and soberity

I am dealing with anger issues in soberity now I have dealt with them before but the emotions feel even stronger this time around then before. I don't want to drink but I know I need to mantain a certain spiritaul atitude about the world around me to live in peace and harmony. The anger seems to take me out of that but I need to feel these emotions and walk through it sober. I can't afford to pick up a drink or a drug, or any non-habit forming marijuana as I call it, cause none of that is non-habit forming for me. Once I start any one I am off and going the wrong way. But I need to work through my anger and turn it in to Love and tolerance for all . I will pray for this individual and hopefully I will feel better about it all. I am still sober though by the grace of the Great Spirits as I understand them, the program as it is out lined in the Big Book, and the fellow ship which is you wonderful people! Thank you.

Richard--anger has always been an issue with me--even now after 39 years--but I have to feel it-walk through it and know it is there---I can't always be happy and I believe it is a lie that we always need to be--there are times anger is appropriate--however it is how I react to anger is the issue--my old self would punch you in the face-then I moved to verbal abuse---now I just tell the person I am angry with you and this is why--that is the walk through part---I get anry with "injustice" or abuse of animals--it is not healthly to stuff anger--writing helps with some people--that never worked with me because I am an action person--but I never allow anger to become resentment--I deal with it then let it go----I face it all, fear, anger, saddness, joy, happyness, for me they used to be the devil in a blue dress-LOL--you are loved dear one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
