ANGER:

~

One of the goals in recovery is to be free of resentment and anger. Yes it's
okay to feel angry, we agree. Well, maybe .......

Anger is a powerful and sometimes frightening emotion. It's also a beneficial
one if it's not allowed to harden into resentment or used as a battering ram
to punish or abuse people.

Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems. Sometimes, it signals
problems we need to resolve. Sometimes, it points to boundaries we need to
set. Sometimes, it's the final burst of energy before letting go, or before
acceptance, settles in.

And, sometimes, anger just is. It doesn't have to be justified. It usually
can't be confined to a tidy package. And it need not cause us to stifle
ourselves or our energy.

We can shamelessly feel all our feelings, including anger, and still take
responsibility for our behaviors. One day at a time.
