Don't Hold On To Anger

Anger is a a strong emotion that is felt when a person feels threatened in some way. In recovery, anger is discussed objectively. We all agree we will experience anger, that we want to free ourselves from it, and that it's okay to be angry.

However, anger can be a powerful and frightening emotion. It is a warning signal that points to problem we need to solve. It might be a sign that we need to do some boundary work. Or you might just be angry without justification.

Unfortunately, if we let anger get a hold of our lives and allow it to stew and simmer, we're creating an environment that could jeopardize our recovery. It's okay to feel all our feelings and still take responsibility for our behaviors.

Explore where the anger is coming from and work on a solution for removing it from your life. Take a deep breath and know that you can work through this too.
