When I get angry, I cry. Anger is the yuckiest of all feelings, in my opinion. I rarely experience it since I quit drinking. I wasn’t an angry drunk, but whenever I was angry, I happened to be drunk. Alcohol reinforces a cycle of drinking to relieve hostility, experiencing intensified resentment, and returning to alcohol for temporary relief. Unresolved grudges, chronic resentments, and a survival-driven mindset fed the urge to drink.To disrupt the red flags of growing anger, I substitute several brilliant interventions. When I’m frustrated and want to cry, I throw on my sneakers and take Autumn for a walk. Anger is just a form of energy that needs to be expelled from my body, and if it must come out as tears, I love to shed them in the fresh air. Sometimes I surpass the need to cry and want more of an immediate release, so I drop and do as many push-ups as I can. If I need to, I’ll do a second round moments later. Sometimes I need a quick mood reset, so I guiltlessly grab a piece of candy. Never forget the power of gummy bears!Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and YouTube. For more information, visit me at ⁠⁠⁠recoverydailypodcast.com⁠⁠⁠ or email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠.Visit my Etsy shop, Recovery Upcycling. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcyclingTo learn more about vestibular disorders visit https://vestibular.org #MentalHealthMatters #EmotionalSobriety #AngerManagement #SoberLiving #MoodBoost #QuickReset #SelfCareTips #RecoveryJourney #CandyFix #HealthyHabits
