Hi Does Anyone Deal With Anger Issues? More Importantly After Ice Addiction?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Bronx, NY

I'm trying to stay sober after 8 years of addiction and I'm pretty mello; however, I've always "ate" my anger or "avoided conflicts" not referencing physical conflict but general conflict. Today I just had a thought am I angry because of how I feel numb to alot (not happy)....and if you had addiction is this normal of us?

Hey now....I didn't say I don't need support .... I'm just not opting in to that support system right now because I don't know if it's for me.....and I want to channel my energy into finding more channels else where within a year then figure meetings, sponsorship out.....after a year.....I'm just weak yet strong willed about this....I know I don't have to do what everyone else says is the right way to go.....I want a mentor and get to my career is all @A myHIVteam Member I've always not had any support systems outside my mom. I'm ok (very sure I'm not gonna do drugs), I just am a year to do me....sober and working

And I know what you mean it's complicated yet simple it's like I'm not myself, or I'm just gotta weird off feeling, and I'm just going with it but I'm also just gonna find work and stay on this path of sober and being me till I get the answer but just idk I like and don't like where I'm at but it's scary for sure I just can't explain where I'm at mentally, physically, my spiritual aspect idk just pray that I find myself if you want. It's fear.....I think, but just need to find work for now. I cannot trust no one else with this place only I can get there and I'm just shifting I think
