HALT Series: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired:
Coping with ANGRY Moments in Recovery
Let's face it... we all get angry from time to time. After all, we are human beings, first and foremost. In dealing with the many elements of recovery from a substance use disorder, we are often overwhelmed with a flood of emotions that have, in the past, been suppressed through the use of drugs or alcohol. Anger is often a feeling that doesn't subside when we stop 'using.' In fact, sometimes anger becomes predominant.
Anger Defined: In the most general sense, anger is a feeling or emotion that ranges from mild irritation to intense fury and/or rage. This may also lead to hostile and violent behaviors. Hostility is seen as a form of emotionally charged, angry behavior. Many people often confuse anger with aggression. Aggression is a behavior that is intended to cause harm or injury to another person or damage property. Hostility, on the other hand, refers to a set of attitudes and judgments that motivate aggressive behaviors.
