Yes it goes away. There is a song by five finger death punch… “a little bit off” for a while I could relate completely with the song… I went through a few weeks of dry drunk where I was on edge, angry, bad attitude. I figured out after talking with my sponsor and my friend that I had just done my 5th step. I told him things I never told anyone. And dealing with those emotions and thoughts were rough! Dig down… what’s changed or what has been eating away at you that would bring those emotions to the surface? You can get through it. Just don’t pick up, take care of yourself and you will figure it out.

Can’t have an attitude if you’re filled with gratitude. Find a way to be thankful for the littlest of things. Gotta change the way you think for things to get better. That’s what kept us in our rut for so long, thinking and acting the same.

We feel a full range of feelings in recovery. This too shall pass. :+1::pray:

When I'm on the edge, getting mad easily, it's usually because things are not going my way. The world is not cooperating with Dave's plan.

Try the Acceptance Prayer

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation—some fact of my life—unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.”
