The Shadow side
I can become really mean when I have been drinking and it has usually been over something I am angry about when I am not drinking...but the alcohol escalates and exaggerates my feelings.
I have had blackouts as well and when I find out about my behavior, I feel terribly ashamed....mortified, in fact.
So, I am trying to take a look at the anger from a sober perspective so that I can handle this emotion constructively. Wow, is that tough because I never knew how angry I have been.
I am grateful to read about this topic.
