~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
02-15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When I become angry, can I admit to it and state it as a fact without allowing it to build up and burst out in inappropriate ways? Pent-up anger, I've finally begun to learn, quickly shatters the peace of mind that's so critical to my on-going recovery. When I become enraged and lose control. I unwittingly hand over control to the person, place, or thing with which I am enraged. WHEN I'M ANGRY WILL I TRY TO REMEMBER THAT I AM ENDANGERING MYSELF? WILL I "COUNT TO TEN" BY CALLING A FRIEND IN THE PROGRAM AND SAY THE SERENITY PRAYER ALOUD?
TODAY I PRAY
May I recognize angry feelings and let them out a little a time, stating my anger as a fact, instead of allowing it to fester into rage and explode uncontrollably.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Anger is. Rage need not be.
