My first 3 months into recovery I lived in a beautiful Sober Living House for Alcoholic Women in Canoga Park, CA. Not too far from the house was Topanga Canyon and if you headed north on that road you came to a place up in the mountains a bit where there was nothing but rocks etc very near the Old Spawn Ranch where Charlie Manson and his gang had hung out in the late 60's. Now it's all built up.
I would drive up there, park my old beat up 'alkie car', climb up a bit and just scream and scream and scream. It would echo. No one could hear me and it really helped a lot!!!! I did this, btw, on the suggestion of our House Mother Patty.
Later, I also figured out, that when I could not get somewhere 'empty' I could keep the windows rolled up on my vehicle and scream and scream and scream.
Scream therapy for both sexes is a GREAT reliever of tension, frustration, anger, and stress.
