Anger
The hardest thing I had to deal with in sobriety was my own anger
and the violence I lived through in my childhood.
I had forgiven those involved as best I could, but the mind seems never to forget.
I had gratefully received years of outside help because I was told
my drinking was only the symptom of deeper troubles.
Yet, despite the help of many professionals,
I know I would never have recovered from violence and alcoholism
without AA's Twelve Steps, which are uniquely tailored for people like me.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 397

Thought to Ponder ...
Anger is the wind that blows out the light of reason.

AA-related 'Alconym' ...
A A = Avoid Anger.
