Angry I generally hate everone.?!

Don't you get days like that, when you hate just about everyone..?? That's how i've been feeling lately.. I find people exasparating & in a lot of cases, stupid. I'm really running out of patience quickly. I ordered a simple meal from K.F.C today & the girl behind the counter fcuks up my order.. It's petty stuff like that, that mount up & it makes we want to explode. A bit like Michael Douglas in the Movie 'Falling Down'. Sometimes i wanna smash the face of nearest person, even if they've done nothing to me.. Do any of you guys get like that..??

well-when I was using, yes-I have to say that I felt like that often....

I still feel "twinges" of those feelings, however what I "do' about it is very different.

I feel itchy when I read your posts cause of your bug LOL

Hope you feel better today

ps. I have also learned through recovery that when I feel that way, it is an opportunity for growth knocking at my door......and it is ALWAYS about me, not the other person.

um, yeah, me too hesh. i hate... everyone.


ok, ok, not really. but a little bit, yeah. growing pains? maybe. or-i need to eat, sleep, and really mean it when i pray. 'cause i've been praying, but i haven't been really PRAYING, y'know? plus, i haven't been doing my meditation, letting things go... i've ignored my seed of anger and have been feeding it and now it's a full blown anger plant and i have to cut it down, and yeah.

i know how you feel though. i would give you a big hug and make the "i hate everyone too" face at ya, if you were here or i was there.

well-I have a choice today because I am sober. I can put what I have learned in recovery to good use, or I can revert to my old behavior and act like an @#!$***#

The opportinity for growth is when I choose to look at "me" and what is really going on....because by the time I get to the poor girl at KFC---I will be so over the top upset about everything and anything except "her" getting my order wrong....

Basically, the saying goes
"if we point the finger at someone there are three pointing back at us"

Love and tolerance, Hesh. That's all I need to remember when the rest of the world pi$$es me off.

I used to, not anymore. I'm still judgemental though, and inpatient. But I'm learning tolerance slowly.

I still hate that bug.

I was in the rage zone when i first got sober..
I had to ride my motor cycle into the mountains everyday for almost six month
or i was gonna hurt somebody...anybody.
I think that's why I was refused rehab..
Which **** me off even more..lol

I get those dayz once or twice a years now..
i just don't give a F@#^ and don't @$% with me.
all you all can go to freanken hell kind of attitude..
i play some evil sounding nioze on my guitar sometimes..but i feel
like breaking the damn thing too..

but i don't..I don't trip out and judge myself..it passes.
sometimes i have to just go sit under the damn tree cuz I don't
have my bike anymore... but just leave me the f alone anyways..
I'll be back soon..lol

I used to let that stuff brew (haaha) in me and I would totally hate on people. Now, sober, it doesn't seem that important. I just try to go about my day peacefully and accept that people are who they are. They may be having a bad day too.

Yeah, and that bug, I thought it was on my laptop and tried to flick it off. Heh.

Hate is such a extreme word. Personally, when I feel like that, I like to strongly dislike everyone. Then I realize "strongly dislike" just sounds so silly, that I just decide that I'm just disagreeable with everyone.

I use to be the queen of wanting to punch every stupid a$$ person square in the face.
And like you said the most petty things are what got to me the most.
Like total lack of common sense just made me want to poke someone in their forehead a few times and ask them what the F is wrong with you.
But thinking and behaving like that was on me and I personally dont like jail.
I have had to learn ALOT os patience and learn to tolerate alot as well.
But now...Most of the time instead of getting mad I laugh like hell and just bust on people.
Not that its any better but its better than getting mad I Guess.
So I guess I try to find the humor in it.
Because getting myself worked up over really nothing is only affecting me.

Hi, Hesh -

I get that way, too sometimes.
Be grateful you don't get PMS.

ps- the bug makes me itchy.

Sorry. This thread made me laugh really hard. Even the title had me in hysterics. That bug is always gonna be a talking point. I wanna smash it.

There is a guy in our meetings who always comes and tells us all how pissed off he is and how he used to hate everyone. He has been sober 17 years. He has a heart of gold.

I have had the grumps too and little things and people can really get to me. I think it is normal. Lots of us have kept our feelings bottled up for a very long time. We used the alcohol and chilled. Alcohol relieves stress in our minds. Now there is nothing to relieve it. We are going to be pretty tetchy for a while. Yes and when you add a bit of PMS just for the ladies, the only thing left for it is probably a padded room.

Have you read about PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome)? Carol can tell you where to find the information if you PM her. When we know what it is, it can help us stay out of jail.
