Ok ,so I feel really fucking angry at everything that comes in my path, from people sitting next to me on the bus to people from AA . My sponsor s away this week and someone else is taking my phone calls for two days . This woman pisses me riiiiight off .
Sheās a French teacher and she talks to me like Iām twelve, her first words were hi howās your day have you done your daily suggestions today !!!this nearly made me flip my Fuckin French books all over the bitch 
Iām a 44 year old woman not a child . she already knew Iād caught a bus to a meeting this afternoon in torrential rain and sat freezing for an hour whilst there then did the trip back home soaked . My sponsor knows Iām working my steps reading my daily reflection s and has never acted like sheās my teacher BUT ā¦.itās not just her 
everyday normal things are really making me angry or quick to react . Iāve had an intense few days with my daughter and mum and Iāve not been able be alone or be in my flat . I was pissy in my meeting the other night before I went back to my daughter and mum but hay i canāt be happy all the time but I went i did my tea and coffee service and I thought I would be happier having a break from my daughter and mum for a couple of hours not having to answer incessant ?s like āwhy are ducks eyes red mum ā 
ā¦.but because I wasnāt my normal smiley self in the meeting this prompted phone calls from people as soon as the meeting ended with them subliminally thinking Iād picked up on the way home but not saying it( Iāve had no thoughts of doing this ) I answered the phone and told them I was with my daughter eating and about to play a board game . I feel fucking overwhelmed with everything and like telling everyone to fuck off . Im going to book a gym class when I get paid in the morning for that afternoon whatever the fuck class it is Iām doing it Iāve never stepped foot in one but I absolutely have to do something with this misery and anger ā¦advice please
Welcome to early sobriety. Only advice I can give you is to make friends with the suck, because sometimes everything is just going to feel bad and thereās not much you can but ride it out. Youāre taking the right actions so these feelings wonāt last forever
If youāre feeling angry towards specific people I would suggest reading page 552 of the big book and following the suggestions.
I would also bring up justifiable anger at a meeting.
All of those things help me when I let my shitty committee run wild in my head.
Damm your goodā¦. My BB however is not itās had tears pouring all over it (The one emotion I cannot allow is that one 
) Iām spent mate ā¦I donāt think Iāve ever cried like that . Iāve prayed for good things to the people I resent and Iāll keep doing it for as long as is necessary. I cannot live in a state of purgatory itās as bad as the hell of active alcoholism ā¦THANK YOU you can be relied upon to maybe not give people what they think they want but definitely what they need, Iām grateful for you tonight 
Iām sorry youāre struggling with all those overwhelming emotions.
I know they arenāt easy to feel.
Anger for me is one of the toughest ones and it always makes me just want to cry and cry.
I donāt have any nuggets of advice or wisdom for you, but I will say I stumbled across this quote earlier and I personally found it rather calming.
Especially if youāre having to deal with the condescending type. hugs 
It sounds like you are in the āangerā stage of grief at having to give something up that you used to love. That and just like others have said your emotions are all over the place in early sobriety. I remember going through a stage of being completely annoyed at EVERYBODY, especially my kids whom I love. It will pass with time (I know that doesnāt help much to hear!). Hang in there!!!
Early days sponsor be back soon hang in there
Lol thanks ray I will odaat
I donāt really have any advice other than to say Iām sorry youāre going through this 
Great that you came here and let it all out.
Certainly finding some ways in the short term to let out the anger is good (exercise is great!) but when you have the time maybe look at what is behind your anger and work on that. It is usually some fear, unmet need, etc. I donāt know how far along the steps you are, but using AA inventory to look at events and people can be helpful. It is something I need to do more of myself.
Iām on step two but my sponsor thinks Iām ready for my step three 
Some people do steps 1, 2 and 3 all in the same day! But steps 4 and 5, and 8 and 9 are where a lot of growth and relief happens.
I was doing my steps with the ?s on the work sheet but there were so many of them ,Iām reading out the big book now and taking notes as I go
Turning to exercise is a great idea. Endorphins can do wonders both physically and mentally. Music helps distract me and lift my mood as well. But one thing I learned here(and really been slacking on 
), is gratitude. Taking time each day to think of what youāre grateful for, rather than whatās going wrong. Focusing on the positive helps drown out the negative 
Of course, bad days are inevitable. Iāve had many where I counted down the minutes til the end. But it always makes me think of how much worse it could be. Not one of those days did I ever feel as low as I did while drinking, and thatās something to feel better about 
Better days ahead 
Thank you @Smitty97 
Thank you @Just_Laura i write my gratitude list each night with my sponsor. I just need to find a way to let go of frustration and anger and not sit with it for a couple of days at a time, Iām learning this slowly 
Iāve only been sober for a short time so I guess it will come and Iām going to get some earphones for the bus journeys im on buses everyday .Thereās too many people with too much to moan about sometimes especially when there running late it gets me in the state of mind their in I pray to my HP but itās not always enough
I canāt say I ever went through an angry or resentful stage in early sobriety, but I definitely went through a stage of anxious annoyance. It was all I could do to meet my ānormalā routine obligations to others, responsibilities, etc. If anything upset the flow, I would get anxious and annoyed.
I walkedā¦a lot. Iād fire up a podcast and walk the neighborhood until I felt back on the level. Sometimes a 15 or 20 minute walk would do. Sometimes Iād be walking 90 minutes. The exertion helped with the nervous energy, and the podcast helped take me out of my own looping thoughts.
Youāre in the right place here, and you have received some great advice. Keep getting after it, and you will get past it.
Thank you
I regularly say in my head āacceptance is the answer to all my problems todayā. Just that opening line is enough to get me to stop and breathe. Itās a powerful sentence.
Anger is a big one. Yes, itās some kind of messenger but Iām in recovery, hypersensitive, and not emotionally solid yet. Jumping into the fray to simply argue is childish, foolish behavior for me. Because sobriety is life or death for me. Anger is a huge threat to my sobriety if I let it spin out unchecked. Is that a hill I want to die on for the sake of winning an idiotic argument? Because thatās where it will take me. I canāt afford to be hijacked by my anger. Gotta step off and think about whatās truly important. Not easy.
