After i calm down i will probably be able to hit an aa meeting and just switch on the filter. This is the first time ive been upset since going sober almost 2 weeks ago that may be part of the reason for all this anger. Probably didnt help to have my friend riding my ass about not missing a meeting and my temporary sponsor pushing me to do the 90 in 90 and to find out how faith based it was after i was run off my feet dragging myself to meetings even when i did 8 hours of recovery already that day in my outpatient program. They both dismissed my daytox program as secondary and said the aa was what i should focus on.

Thank you all for talking to me. I may seem irrationally angry but this really does help.
AA is based on a higher power of your own understanding. You may wish to reread the chapter to the Agnostic. The term God has nothing to do with any religion
