45 days sober. My in-laws cut me off for my wife telling them partial truths and I am mad. My daughter is coming at me with resentment because of my drinking, my business is failing and to top it off I just took my wife to in-patient treatment for drinking so I get to deal with everything myself and I am just getting angry, don’t know why but I’m just mad that no one gets it, everything is coming at me at once. Is that normal?

Yeah pretty normal given the circumstances. Just don't let it control you.

Yes, that is normal for me. It was normal because I didn’t see none of it once I got sober. I felt like everything was attacking me. Everything was coming at me. Everything was on my plate. Was there before I got sober? I just never seen it or deal with it, be patient with yourself one thing that help me to sit down write everything up like why am I angry? Where did I play a role? How can I fix it? What is it? I need to change or change it some good things about myself and my motivation and help, you to begin the plan and then taking steps and doing

Yes the angers normal and when it rains it pours. Get out your umbrella and push thru the storm. Sounds like you need support, keep reaching out

Hello Mike
First of all congratulations on 45 days.
It sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate right now brother. The great thing is when we stop drinking and drugging we get our filling back.
The crazy thing is, we get our feelings back. And we have to walk through them, and fill them. Anger is normal part of feeling our emotions.
The most beautiful thing I have learned in my sobriety is.
Say what you mean just don’t say it mean.
