My father had a very serious discussion with me about ever laying a hand on a woman. And so he had me, had a good conversation with me, and I learned a great lesson there: to be respectful to women, to ladies.
Ever felt like your anger is controlling you instead of the other way around? Meet Ed Snyder, a man who transformed his life from being ruled by rage to guiding others on the same path. Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Ed had a knack for making people laugh and playing football, but his temper often got the best of him. His turning point came after a particularly violent outburst where he accidentally broke a little girl's nose.
This incident led to a serious talk with his father about respecting women and managing his anger. In this episode of 'Recovery For Real', Ed dives into his personal journey and the hard-earned lessons he's gathered along the way. He discusses his book 'Control the Beast' and shares insights from his True North Podcast. Ed believes that anger is often at the root of many addictions and that managing it is crucial for achieving sobriety.
He identifies six main triggers for anger: primary depression, past trauma, frustration, feeling disrespected, fear, and violent media. Ed also talks about the role of faith and prayer in his own recovery process. He emphasizes how important it is to have a spiritual anchor when dealing with anger issues. Additionally, he sheds light on how media and music can influence our thoughts and behaviors, often exacerbating anger problems.
For anyone struggling with anger or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and resources. Ed's story is a testament to the power of self-awareness, faith, and community in overcoming life's toughest challenges. Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and how you can too.
