Of course I had the right to be angry about anything I wanted. What does being an alcoholic or a drug addict have to do with any of that? 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. Indeed. Anger wasn’t worth the duration 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. Who’s going to tell me whether or not I can be angry? The point was that it wasn’t worth the day or effort. 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.”

I was way to wrapped up in myself to know anything at all. In my case, it meant going to alcohol & drug rehab.
