I would be interested in how different people work through, with or get out of anger. I use to use alcohol to deal with any emotion or situation, and I am now trying to develop some other skills.
I have run into a number of very angry people lately, and realized how I fall into that at times. Yesterday I started getting irritated at every little thing.
I ended up expressing my feelings of hurt and irritation that was going on to some sober people. They really sort of ignored me except one guy who said he couldn't afford to get angry ....
I'm like Gee ... so what do you do when it happens.
It seems like I've worked through it by simply acknowledging it, looking at it, and I guess just seeing how I might be building toward it ... I'm still in frustration, but have backed off from irritated (which can sometimes lead to senseless rage over something that sometimes is important, but sometimes isn't.
So if anyone would care to share, I'd love to hear from you.
