anger issues as you clean up

[newmanagment]

I have spent most of my day tryin not to strangle the eva loving sh*# outta someone or other. first i snapped at walmart, then gettin a burger at culvers, then at mcdonalds on some a$$ honkin his horn , then again at walmart!! i went to jail tuesday because of a fight, and jus got out wednesday nite. I realize that as i get clean for the first 1-3 months, i have a real anger problem. i think it is because im used to letting dope override the urge to punch somethin. my ? is, is this just a cocaine thing? does ne one comin off pills notice that they are edgy, and stupid **** makes em wanna snap? or am i just an a&&hole when im sober? LOL

Anyone think we need to ask MedHelp to start a Walmart Recovery forum? I haven't seen one post from anyone who doesn't get stressed there. However, seems like many of us use that as a place to let off some steam. Those poor, unsuspecting greeters. I wonder if they have some kind of support group?
"Hi. I'm Betty and I am a recovering Walmart greeter."

[ladyboop]

LMAO!!! what is it with walmart.. All these post remind me of my son. Everytime he gets pissed off. He tell me he's going down to the walmart to yell at someone... And I thought it was just him..lol..lol..

[road2recovery]

OH i forgot about the neighbor...LMAO

[road2recovery]

LOL----Love the suggestions...First new--i hate wamart, and yes getting off of pills makes us snap at the simple things, even our own kids,,And that hurts, but u knwo what we are all human...And even non addicts have bad days...hell that is life!!!

WE as addicts can change our actions about drugs but we cannot change the world...We are still normal people who get aggrivated with our kids, bills, spouses, jobs etc....So we need to all understand that...We are not perfect and never will be!!!

oh getting off of subject...lol
oh yea sex..lol best thing of getting clean is all those feeling come back...  glad hubby feels the same!!!

[newmanagment]

i had a great day, no anger and even worked on car. im an ex gang banger, when these people show up ya dont defuse situations. ya deal wit em swiftly and show no mercy, keeps others from gettin stupid ideas. all the snappin at walmart and the rest wuz more an internal issue, i choked it down and went bout my business. i know that this gets easier for me a few months out, and i know how to deal with it, i wuz just curious if it wuz only common to cocaine addicts, or if people with pills as their doc noticed these feelings at all. seems by the amount of post that a lot do... thanx corey, ya alwayz make me smile :)

[corey411]

Could you get into a book. You know me...I know NA would help but won't go. My son never went to anger management but found out he had some anger issues in rehab...he really didn't lash out much but I think that helped him find the path to addiction. There are alot of books you could read that MIGHT help you diffuse your feelings...some people get like this with fear...jealosy ect. Alot of it's probably part of not using. If u can do some books amazon.com-u can even get used ones cheaper. Don't know the situation but if someone comes to your house pi@@es you  off maybe you could learnto defuse it so you keep u out of jail. Just an idea...won't hurt anyway and want to see ya happy and tellin us about it.

[worried878]

I hated walmart before I was an addict....still hate it and will spend more money to shop somewhere else...patience is a virue for me right now and I am trying hard to stay cool at work and with many of my friends...my anger is bottled up within...I may go to walmart and let some of it out before i go to bed tonight on some unsuspecting shopper!   but i am too tired so i will just go to bed instead

[confused456]

Take it how you want.

[sortamental]

without reading all the replies, to answer your question:

coming off vics made me very rageful. I don't know what it is about them b/c percs never did that.

[newmanagment]

good, now step of me. i brought you thru some bad times, or do you forget ? just because we dont see eye to eye ne more doesnt mean i will tolerate ya thinkin i need to go to "anger managment"... i dont like drama, thas why i dont mess wit you ne more. so lets jus agree to stay outta each others face. it will be much easier for both of us..

[confused456]

Wow, a little over-board. I didn't say anything about you being short tempered with your kids. What I said is that there is a difference when someone is short temper with their children and when they beat the **** out of someone and goes to jail. By "short tempered", I meant yelling at them over something we usually would not find to be a big deal. I am a parent of 3 and will fully admit that I have been short tempered with my kids before. There was no implication.

[newmanagment]

well, ya touched a nerve, i am not short tempered wit my kids, they are my life and the only short temper i had wit em wuz when i had pneumonia. i really dont like things to be implied, and i am not much for mincing words. i say wut i feel, and dont really care who likes it. i will never bow down to ne one, sorry thas not me...

[confused456]

I agree with Cathy totally, but I was not trying to be a bit** when I sad that, you did not say why or where or with who you got into a fight. You only mentioned that you have felt very angry and that you went to jail for a fight. I made a suggestion based on the info. that you provided.

[cathy5841]

i do think of someone comes to your house to do you harm you not only have every right but have a responsibility to protect your family.  as far as the wal-mart stuff goes....well, i have to come home and cool off everytime....it just seems like with 20 lanes they would open a few more.  i mean they make enough off me to pay an extra cashier.

[usarmymedic1]

lol damn your an A$$ lol take easy. you know what I am saying from your PM lastnight. you are stronger than that and I will come get in your face if you try to use agian and it won't be just me I know BMC will be standing next to me so no decreasing your clean time.  and no more time in jail if they come to your house let then put one foot in the door than bet'em down so they go to jail lol

laters man
medic

[newmanagment]

nope sorry wont be no anger managment with me. i only went to jail because someone came to my house and started it with me. i am not out looking for fights, and i dont beat up on innocent people. i do however not let people give me sh it... and i dont really like it when people try to play me. i know for a fact that this decreases the more clean time i have, not like i continue to snap out after a few months, matter of fact im a pretty understanding person.. ive even talked quite a few of you thru some major hard times, ans serious cravings, remember?!?!
