The Anger. Anger was a tough one. I wanted to run from it. I hated being mad, I always have but it was one of the only emotions I let be seen and heard. Hurt or pain, never. These I hid quite well.

I have learned it was not anger as much as it was fear. I read something the other day and it made me LOL. FEAR - F*CK EVERYTHING AND RUN.

That was me! When I drank I was off and running. Not being able to run from the anger and the fear was the hardest part for me.

It will. I promise it will if you stay sober and work a recovery program. I am not saying you will never be sad again, that is not possible, but discovering the reasons for it and then dealing with it are better than sinking in it.

I still get sad to the point that I feel nothing else but I have learned to lean on and open up myself to others and sharing it, cuts it in half. You don't have to feel or be alone. We are here
