Feeling a little low

Sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time with it right now. All I can tell you is that what helps me and thats to let yourself be proud of whatever small victories you can. Go on a longer streak with no porn than you ever have before? Let yourself feel good about that even if it comes down to a matter of minutes. Even unrelated stuff helps too. Finish a task even ever so slightly faster at work than you have before? Celebrate that. It's a tough behavior to learn and get used to using at first but its worth the trying.

 

I used to have a temper myself as well man and I still snap on occasion. At some point I got over most of that anger, couldn't really tell you how I did it honestly.

Learning to celebrate the little victories is a good habit to train for yourself but itsa a hard one too. Have to be patient and give yourself some time.

 

It's amazing how closely anger and addiction are connected, your angry so you turn to your addiction to get that temporary high, you feel guilty and then angry all over again.
I've had anger issues all my life, I would constantly go off the rails for no reason and fight anyone and anything around me. I've been working with a therapist to figure out my triggers and why I can't just walk away when I feel the anger coming on. And amazingly enough it can be "that easy", get angry? Walk away... but when we are in the throws of whatever has gotten you to rhat point that's all you can see.
For my I'm trying a new approach this week. I have a 25 mile highway commute from work to home every day, and I'm pretty sure every idiot is on the same highway at the same time as me every day. (At least it feel like that lol). Today when I get home, I and going to park and listen to 1 song by myself before I walk into the house. Separate the work and drive from my house.
Sometimes 1 small change can make a big difference.

 

You are 100% right there, its the small changes that will make the biggest differences in the long run and taking a moment to chill and take a moment for yourself is a smart and id say healthy way to start. Even if you just sit in the car for a minute or two before you head might help you chill out a little bit.

It doesn work for everyone but I have found that working out, light yoga, and breathing exercises can help you to chill out over time as well. Somethingabout moving heavy weights around chills me out I guess lol.

 

I know I feel a little more balanced after I've all but killed myself at the gym lol
