But clean.... I'm mad , mad at my daughter for not caring , not calling , but she comes from me. What she lacks in showing love i must have put there. I was strict , maybe that's why

I'm mad at god for the ailments , put on me. One , then two , now a third. How much more ? I'm kicking the drugs . Why now ? Is this a test cause if it is , I'll pass..

I did not cave , not today , not tomorrow

Hey. Nice to see you. We all have ailments. I think its alright to be mad for a little while. Then, I think you should take that anger and turn it into something else. Every single human on this planet has something that is not working just "right".
Keep on keeping on!

Sometime we have good days and bad one and that applies to other folks too I think?
Sometimes people just won't do what I want them to Riky....

I'm sorry for your anger but I'm so pleased you're still clean and sober

You are better equipped to deal with these challenges sober than if you were using.

Good job getting through them on life's terms, keep it up!

Big hugs tonight, keep fighting the good fight!

hello riky,

Good job on stay on the right track. There's two way you can deal with anger. One is to use it in a passive ways to process through the hurt or keep the anger and become bitter. I Hope you do the thing that will help you. Keep your head up.

Mizzuno

I love this! It is not always easy, but its always doable. Yes, it really is doable!
DO IT!

Hi TR, way to express your feelings and not use! I'm pulling for you my friend. I hope you find some relief from your ailments and a better connection with your daughter. Day by day as sober people do.
Peace,

You are experiencing....life! Full on without the numbing.

Anger is the gas in your tank to bring...change. It's telling you something, and you are present in the moment to actually hear it, to feel it.

I have teenage daughters, so I understand.

Congrats on sobriety, even when it's hard.

Clemence

I really feel for you Riky, and understand. I have felt so cross with the attitude of my eldest child since I stopped drinking 10 days ago; totally unsupportive. Let's not use it as an excuse to drink though. Be strong

ReadyAtLast

good on you for not picking up

Please be careful with your anger though, anger is a resentment and a key one that made medrink again many many times. I was so angry at family and friends that they did/said/didn't do things that I drank as had no way of dealing with these emotions sober. I was ultimately angry at myself

A wise old owl on SR told me to forgive those who anger me, let it go and be at peace. It's not easy but it works.

Well now that drug and alcohol abuse is off the table, what are you gonna do about it? Sit there and stew or maybe ask her why she doesn't keep in touch more? Do you call her?

Louise82

Great that you're staying clean my friend. We can't control what other people do but we can control what we do.

Mountainmanbob

just me maybe
but
I prefer to us a capital G when referring to God
I don't blame God for my ailments
but
I do ask Him to help me live with them and through them
God never promised us that it was going to be easy here
thus - all the more need for His help

when it's rough I go to Him
and
when it's good I thank Him

Glad that you are so determined to stay sober riky. Its positive that you are posting here about how you are feeling rather than doing something detrimental to your recovery. I definitely think it is easier to deal with problems sober. Wishing you well.

Hi TR, Good for you for staying strong. Anger and resentment, IMHO, are the worst emotions to sit with. I am finding that these negative emotions do pass though and are so much easier to deal with without a hangover or sense of guilt and loathsomeness that always follows alcohol consumption...

Hang in there!!! This too shall pass.

Try and channel it into something positive, do your bit, see if she meets you half way x
