why cant i stop alienaiting people from me? i thought by getting sober i would be able to feel better and wouldnt be so angry yet i was the most angriest i have ever been the last 45 days. i feel like i am in a lose/lose situation, if i drink ill die, if i get sober i get so angry i want to hurt people. why am i doomed to be this way?

You aren't doomed bevause you don't have to be that way but you are doomed if you don't do more about your recovery/sobriety!

I can relate to the anger part. I went to therapy for my anger issues and then the therapist said I need to deal with my drinking first.

So I stopped drinking but the anger was still there. Three years into my sobriety, I had a major meltdown.

I went back into therapy and it took me over three years for me to stop acting out my anger.

You are not doomed and you are not alone. And thank you for sharing.

I have been in that place too and came through it. It's very scary and I got some outside help but you may find that the anger goes as you work through the 12 steps. Don't drag your feet with this - get on with it and see what happens!
45 days is massive for you but you really are in early days.

@serenity94 i have been drinking for a couple of weeks now, so those 45 days are long gone and good riddence to them.
