Restless, irratible, and discontent??? How long have you been sober for??

I was drinking on and off the last couple of months about once a week, I haven't had a drink now for 2 weeks and have been trying to get back into meetings

Trying to get to a meeting?
I checked your profile and I see they helped before.
Might want to make it a priority.

Just a thought

shoot for some anger management classes between the AA meetings - it's worth a shot.

Peace be with you.

"Trying to get to a meeting," is an alcohlics excuse. You either go to meetings or you dont. You are either drinking or you are not. The anger is a symptom we call dry drunk. YOu need to go to a meeting today and offer up what you have just told us.

Sometimes we get angry with ourselves, because we don't believe we are in full control of our lives. Something is impacting the way we feel, behave and leaves us in a state of confusion. This can cause breakdown or us to lash out physically or emotionally. The cause of this, maybe something that brings you back to a place or time in the past. The more we try to hide painful or hurtful moments from our past, without dealing with them. The more problems will occur, like sudden outbursts and stress related illnesses. You need to understand you are a good person, no ones perfect. We all have felt like running away at sometime when we can't find the solution.
The best thing to do would be to let some of the pressure out. To stop all those random thoughts from screaming through you mind. Speak to someone you can trust. Or get yourself to a few AA meetings that you feel comfortable sharing at. And just let everything out you will feel much better.

Remember not to isolate. Remember not to spend to much time in your own head.
Remember to keep sharing. And most of all to Love and Respect yourself.

yep thats how i feel, angry at the slightest things, snapping at everyone etc,

I find that in early sobriety I am extremely sensitive to sounds.
Once someone sneezed and I literally jumped off my chair.
Stay intuned with what you are going thru. It will help.

I had major anger when I first got sober, they recomended me to take a class on anger management and even do a workbook found in bookstores, called the anger workbook. When you get sober you have to work on those things that caused us to get drinking in the first place. It's actually very normal to be angry when first sober, we all have been there.The longer you stay sober the better or you just keep repeating the same ol same ol. Take care.

Relax

You seem to be wound pretty tight, What can you do to unwind without drinking. maybe a meeting,

Wow thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate them all, I might see if I can get that anger workbook off amazon.
In terms of the meetings I did go to a meeting yesterday before I posted my comment, i stopped going for a while over xmas because going was making my head hurt and making me even more angry, sometimes going to AA makes me feel like I am being brainwashed, I always seem to be doing the wrong things and I got sick of people saying if you do this then you will die, it seems so melodramatic and what if all my problems aren't to do with alcohol and I'm just barking up the wrong tree? I know i am not meant to say these things, and it has really helped me alot so maybe i should be more grateful
