Anger

use for years, get clean, use for years, get clean. sh*tty cycle ya know. i will get clean for several years, but never last. right now i have several months clean. and i am having a time at this. somedays i just get plain old angry. angry i can get high, angry i can't just drink. angry, angry in general. i don't get why. it sucks

Hey Raerae, well done on your clean time!! One day is a miricle never mind months! Don't really know what to say. I do know that it will pass, it always does. Felt like that myself....." why can't i just go out and have a few pints"....cause i never just had a few pints, it always led to something else. Anger too, i do try n not let it get to me, but i do sometimes and it just gives me internal pain....

Life's not easy, it throws up some obsticles at times, but if we are clean we are already more prepared to deal with it , than when we are using.Hope you have a good sunday, Kev
Dear RaeRae,

Life isn't easy for the addict or non-addict. In fact, it's down right hard. We just all have to keep persevering and trying our best to do what we know in our hearts is the right thing to do.....but definitely not the easiest. I, for one, am very glad you're here with us and sober once again. Keep up the good work!

Love,
Susan
