When the drinking stopped the anger flowed! Without the bottle I found myself unable to deal with life on life's terms. Pride, hate, prejudice, jealousy, loneliness and anxiety just to name a few followed anger through the door, and tried to take away my sobriety.
I quickly realized if I were to remain sober, I had to be willing, to put God in charge, and trust him more than I trusted myself. With God in charge, anger and it's ugly partners, had little power over my thoughts. My sobriety was able to blossom and flourish!
Willingness remains a powerful coping skill in my life as a sober alcoholic.
