I recently found another daily meditation book. This one is titled "Day by Day: Daily Meditations for Recovering Addicts". I have been struggling with a great deal of anger lately. Generally this anger has been directed at 2 specific people, one of whom is my son's father. How ironic then that this is today's daily meditation:

Dealing with anger
Anger has its place, but chemically dependent people tend to let anger run away with them. The old saying “Be angry, but sin not” is a tall order for us. Two sins of anger are revenge and resentment. Either of them mixed with anger has a way of poisoning the angry one, both mentally and spiritually. Since revenge and resentment are killers for us, it is best to turn over to our Higher Power the situations and people we are angry with. How do I deal with my anger?
When I feel angry, whether justified or not, I pray that I keep it in check and turn it over. Today I will deal with my anger constructively by praying.
God help me to stay clean and sober today!
