What does being an alcoholic or a drug addict have to do with any of that? In my case, it meant going to alcohol & drug rehab. Indeed. I remember being angry about not being able to be angry. The point wasn’t whether or not I had the right to be angry about something. Anger wasn’t worth the instance or effort considering the stakes are so incredibly high for a drug addict & alcoholic.

I just don’t have the luxury of being incredibly & justifiably angry anymore considering that leads to ego which leads to the delusion that I can drink and/or use drugs again.

“The persistence of the illusion is astonishing” it says in Chapter 5, How it Works. Of course I had the right to be angry about anything I wanted. Could that be part of the craziness that goes on in a Drug Rehab Facility??

I was way to wrapped up in myself to know anything

at all. The point was that it wasn’t worth the instance or effort. Who’s going to tell me whether or not I can be angry? When astonished by something and in need of help, it’s probably a good concept to go to those who are familiar with the problem, able & willing to help. We have found that justified anger ought to be left to those better qualified to handle it.”
