Thanks desypete! I made it through the anger and the way without pouring poison down my throat! I posted here...texted my sponsor and another woman from AA, prayed, and as SoberLeigh tells me to do...I took deep breaths! The anger passed a lot quicker than usual. I also ate something and stayed pretty busy the rest of the day. The most important thing is I didn't drink today. I'm always going to encounter A-holes and conflict....if I drink every time...I will die of alcoholism. Not an option!!!

Thanks again. Onward!
