Managing Anger While Loving Someone with Addiction: Tips from Love Over Addiction

Feeling anger is not wrong, but dealing with it inappropriately is if you find yourself yelling, fighting or shoving down your anger. You need to learn appropriate ways to deal with anger.
Feeling overwhelmed by anger while trying to support a loved one struggling with addiction? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Lisa Anderson dives into practical strategies for managing that anger in a healthier way. She acknowledges that anger is a natural response but emphasizes the importance of handling it constructively to avoid further harm. One key technique she shares is 'keeping the wind out of his sails'.
When your loved one lashes out or tries to provoke you, resist the urge to engage. Instead, walk away and find someone else to talk to, helping you release those pent-up emotions without escalating the situation. Michelle's advice is all about being kind to yourself and recognizing that your feelings are valid. This episode offers a blend of encouragement, practical tips, and a touch of humor to help you navigate the emotional roller coaster of loving someone with addiction.
Whether you're feeling exhausted, depressed, or just plain angry, tune in for some much-needed support and guidance.
