Summary: Do you get angry? More importantly, maybe, how do you deal with your anger? Has recovery helped you be less angry or to let it out more gently?<br> This week, Spencer and Pat talk about anger. We are guided in our discussion by these questions.<br> <br> * Don't we almost all get angry at some time or another?<br> * Were you allowed to get angry as a child? <br> * What were you told about anger when you were young?<br> * When do you get angry?<br> * Are there patterns to when you get angry?<br> * What tools of the program can help you deal with anger in the moment?<br> * What tools of the program can help you work on the root cause of your anger?<br> <br> Several listeners also contribute to and enliven our discussion by email and voice.<br> Upcoming topics include “how am I trustworthy?” Do you gossip? How have you learned to keep confidences in recovery? How is that an essential part of the Al-Anon program?

So I looked up songs about conflict resolution and I found a really nice blog where the author had asked folks for songs about conflict resolution. She has two long play lists – one is mellow and one is lively.<br> But first, some angry songs…<br> “One Step Closer” by Linkin Park<br> <br> Angry Heart by Black Sabbath<br> <br> And, finding a way to deal…<br> You Can't Always Get What you Want by The Rolling Stones<br> Classic:<br> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BykilS816E<br> Recent:<br> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkzVeXrkXGw<br> <br>
