Wow, firstly let me thank Casey for copying Josie's words. They are right on the button...........
Secondly, for Kiwi:
I had a friend that was going through a horrible divorce. His divorce was brought on by his ongoing drug habit. When he had no one else left in his life, he came to us. We had always been his friend, no matter what. He lived with us for a year and a half. Through that time, I watched him go through his withdrawls, and his anger with his wife. His wife wouldn't let him see the kids, and took everything but his truck and sold it. Changed the locks and slammed a restraining order on him. He certainly did not deserve that kind of punishment. His anger then got out of control. Unfortunately, while off drugs, he turned to anger and alcohol. We had to let our friend go, for the sake of our children. However, at that same time, he woke up. He realized what he was doing, and what he did. He sobered up enough to get his butt into AA. Upon his first week there, they recommended he start anger management classes.
At first he was very against it. Then he realized that they might be able to help him find a way to stop the anger before it comes. He needed to give it a shot. If not, he would never see his kids!
Long story short, he took the classes. 12 months worth! It really has helped him. He is able now to control his anger. He knows what to do when it comes, and he knows what to do to stop it.
He still has his days, but the classes did wonders for him. I even considered taking them. As a part of the healing process in my quit. These wild emotions are hard to deal with sometimes!!
I think everybody needs some sort of anger management classes at some point in their life.
Something to think about.......................... :|
