Of Course You’re Angry: A Guide to Dealing with the Emotions of Substance Abuse (Second Edition)
Authors: Gayle Rosellini and Mark Worden
Overview
Anger is a normal human emotion—but for those in early recovery, it can be overwhelming, destructive, and deeply tied to relapse. First published in 1985 and now revised in this second edition, Of Course You’re Angry remains one of Hazelden’s most trusted guides for understanding and managing anger in healthy, productive ways.
Written in a friendly, nonconfrontational style, the authors help readers identify the roots and expressions of anger—whether it shows up as violence, resentment, depression, or manipulation—and transform it into a constructive force that supports recovery rather than undermines it.
Why You’ll Love It
- Addresses anger as a core challenge in early sobriety with compassion and clarity.
- Breaks down the different “styles” of anger and how they manifest in daily life.
- Offers practical, step-by-step tools for expressing anger safely and effectively.
- Provides real-life examples that make concepts easy to understand and apply.
- Helps not only those in recovery, but also their friends and families who are affected by anger.
Who It’s For
- People in early recovery from addiction struggling with anger and emotional volatility.
- Family members and friends who want to better understand and support their loved ones.
- Counselors, sponsors, and group facilitators seeking a practical tool to address anger issues.
- Anyone wanting to replace destructive anger patterns with healthier responses.
Key Insights
- Anger itself is not the problem—how we manage and express it determines whether it harms or heals.
- Unacknowledged or misdirected anger often shows up as depression, resentment, or manipulation.
- Developing healthier anger responses requires identifying “common conceits” and learning to communicate needs clearly.
- By working with anger rather than against it, recovery can become more stable, relationships stronger, and self-respect restored.
