Hi Imagine,
As I'm sure you already know, anger is our response to the present. It is our reaction to and/or denial of reality. We become angry when our present situation isn't as we want it to be and we're unable or unwilling to accept it. Fear is our response to the unknown. We become obsessed with thoughts of our wants or needs not being met. Instead of living in today, we project.
I know practicing acceptance, love and faith are sometimes easier said than done. And our feelings aren't always willing to cooperate, especially when they aren't based on facts. The true blessings here is that you are clean and have some awareness. Just hang on...ride it out...see what tomorrow brings. You may not be where you want to be today, but you're certainly where you need to be (clean & recovering).

I get my yearly raise next month and I'm going to ask for what I need to stay down here, but anoter part of my fear is standing up for my self.

Next month will be here before you know it. Cross the bridge when you get there. In the meantime, a gratitude list can't hurt.
