when my sponsor brought up the topic of anger, he asked if i had ever experienced it. i understood what anger was, but i wasnt clear on what he meant. i learned that anger is a strong feelin of displeasure or hostility towards someone or somethin, often accompanied by a desire to cause harm, usually arisin from feelin provoked or threatened. this definition resonated with me because i was very familiar with that emotion. as i reflected on how anger had influenced my life, my sponsor helped me see how this emotional distraction affected my character and contributed to my shortcomins. listenin to others share their experiences with anger in recovery taught me that feelin anger is normal, but its my actions in response to that anger that can lead to problems. todays 24-hour prayer emphasizes love, remindin me that my HP loves me and everyone around me. love, which stands in stark contrast to anger, is somethin i need to give unconditionally, just like my HP does. throughout my recovery, ive noticed that shiftin my perspective from anger to love has had a profoundly positive effect on my life. 1 day @ a time…
