Just think, if you get through this, you'll be a little stronger the next time. So hang in there - you can get through it!
I read about the HALT tool years ago when I read the addictionary (Still have it somewhere, must find it back) I use it to recognise when I feel weak and what is the trigger. I must say though that I don't feel just weak with anger but also with a lot of positive emotions.
And yes at this moment in time I visit this site a lot and read the other posts and they help me immensely.
Thank you so much
