Anger problem

Im not drinking anymore. Most of time im ok, but sometimes pointless anger take over my mind. Even to most loved ones. To evryone. Its happens randomly. Thinking about drinking but i know its not solution. Im tired of myself. In that moment i think im who is right but after a while i just understand reality and feel shamefull. God dont know what to do. Just suffering mentally.

If you're in early recovery, emotional ups and downs are common. Stay sober and things usually smooth out with time.

Badger, I think you're going through 'normal' emotions right now. Most of us have numbed our emotions with alcohol and when we stop drinking, we have to learn how to deal with those feelings. I found that exercise helps a lot and so does distracting yourself with music, a book, or anything that will take your mind off things.

Being aware of it is half the problem. Be open and honest with your loved ones. Many won't really understand, but maybe they can at least grasp that you are going through something profound and incredibly difficult. Breathe deep and have confidence that you are on a road to much better things.

I was so very angry at first. At least a month. I learned to count, take deep breaths ans say outloud to myself, "HTown you are angry. Why are you angry?" It helped a lot to analyze the anger instead of react to it.

I meant to say that being aware of it is halfway there to the solution. I hope there wasn't a misunderstanding.
