anger running amuck!?
I was reading some posts and got bounced back to the really early days of my sobriety. I have 9 months tomorrow. And I'm so grateful I no longer have that grinding constant anger that I had early on. That anger at having to quick drinking.
I don't feel angry so much any more about not getting to drink. Now I feel sort of sad, like someone I loved died.
But I still have a lot more anger in my life at external factors. I guess I was numbing it while I was drinking. I never thought of myself as an angry person!
But now I get angry so much more easily - at people not doing what I want them to do, at politics, at some stupid thing in the grocery store - for heaven's sake it's ridiculous! I'm a regular crank-o-meter!
Do others see anger rise or fall in their lives with sobriety?
