PART FOUR-ANGER MANAGEMENT
If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit, give it nothing which may tend to its increase. –Epictetus
When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, a hundred.–Jefferson
You do not have to live your life in anger. You don’t have to continue to hurt the people you love. Today you can start living a new life free from uncontrollable rage. Managing your anger is only a decision, but it’s a decision you will have to stick with. It is a conscious decision you may have to make everyday or possibly several times a day. Change is not easy but it is quite possible. The information that follows will tell you how to start the change. I am going to give you clear directions on how to quell your anger. What you do with these directions is up to you. Even now as I write I am facing some of my old demons. These demons flock to the smell of resentment and bitterness. Their primary goal is to push me back into a life of addiction and bondage. It is up to me to use the tools I’ve learned or fall to my weakness. I choose to use the tools. What will you do?
