Hi Michelle, congrats on 28 days!!!

I was a drunk rager and I, too, thought it would disappear once I stopped drinking.

But, I kept having episodes that left me feeling like the only thing missing was the alcohol. I felt horrible, emotional hangovers afterwards.

The good news is that the further along into recovery I went, the less angry I felt. I learned to stop being so reactive and more accepting of things out of my control. The stronger my sense of self grew, the less angry I felt.

28 days is fantastic, but it is very early days. Please be gentle with yourself. Allow yourself time to recover, to get to know yourself better. To love yourself. It is not going to happen overnight, but it will happen.

Onward with patience
