In this podcast, we discuss the role of anger in our lives and of the many disguises it uses to erode confidence and peace.

We learn that:

1. Anger never travels alone and is therefore accompanied by other emotions such as fear and hurt, common in addictive and co-dependent relationships.
2. Anger comes in so many disguises, it\\u2019s hard to identify it as the underlying cause of unhelpful behaviours such as rudeness, sarcasm or simply an unkind remark.
3. Fear of losing a loved one, of not finding a cure and of the shame that comes with addiction provokes frustration and rage with what is.
4. The sooner the responsible family member can identify and be honest with the feelings they are feeling, the sooner they can begin the journey of healing.
5. For that to begin, they will need the help of a counsellor trained in addictive disorders and, ideally, join an Al-Anon group to enable them to share their feelings and situation in a safe setting.
