Anger without a drink

Phase: Stronger Every Week
Today's talk · preview

Day 43. Let's talk about anger.

For a lot of people, drinking was how anger got handled. Or it's how anger got louder. Either way, now you're feeling it without anything to numb it. And some days, it's a lot.

Here's the truth. Anger isn't bad. It tells you something matters. Something feels unfair. A line got crossed. The problem is what we do next. Snapping. Sending the text. Or stewing on it until a drink sounds like the only relief.
