It does help. That's nice and simple. I'm really bad at identifying what I'm feeling. I'm not a touchy feely person so I tend to think, I'm fine. What's my problem? Everything is good. And when it's not good, I think, well. I don't want to think about that.

I'm going to try your suggestion today, just to see if there is anything there, recognize it, not fear it and turn it into something positive. I like that. Thank you.

I like that ananda..LOL

I get like that too...I wanna rip peoples haeds off and roll it down the street somedays.
Its normal.
I had alot of anger issues. So I was a ticking time bomb.
I experoenced this a little this morning.
I had moved my computer last night into my room so the kids could have the spare room all to themselves with more room.
I woke up and my grams was in there cleaning and vaccuming. I got mad.
Because she didnt have the bed the where I wanted it and just cause it was somthing that I was going to d today.
I felt bad for getting mad. And she was just doing what she does.

I have learned to do alot of stopping ..breathing and calming myself down before I react.

I try to think about why I am feeling like that. And try really hard to stop. Sometimes it just doesnt work. But you know. We arent perfect.

hey boston-24 hours can be a long time in early sobriety, so I hope that this finds you better than yesterday. I just took the time to read back through a lot of my favorite threads and I realized that lots of peeps were having a rough time of it this week. So yes, something was "in the air" and...well, early sobriety often just sux that way. I wish I had stumbled upon some of the nicer, gentler threads last time I was on SR, but I encountered one that made me crazy, so I grumbled, paced and then sulked in a corner for a couple of days. Productive behavior, eh? It helps to know that others experience the same swings in early sobriety...it's like regular life, only magnified. I don't have any advice, at least nothing that wouldn't get me banned-LOL-but I've found that you just have to ride these days out sometimes and do the best you can not to project onto others. Humor always helps if you can find it elsewhere or access it in yourself. It is a great reminder----once i get to laughing about something else I realize, damn, it isn't all about me? BTW, I think someone finally called in that exorcist. Thanks for the request.

I have been "away" from life for so long. I'm sure the tools used to handle the roller coaster will need to be relearned. Turning to drink was an all-in-one cure for me. It solved every celebration, every awkward moment, every ill emotion. I wonder if I will remain in my now peaceful state. What challenges are ahead, will blood fill my face with anger, will I slam things around to let people know how I feel, will I still be verbally abusive to the people I care most about? (I often did this because I knew they'd forgive me) I know I will have to develop, seemingly, new tools to handle life. To prepare myself I will find a new way to vent, a routine or hobby that keeps me at the lowest end of the spectrum. I thank these posts for giving me a heads up. Prayers
