And some of us have lashed out at others with our anger. So we fear anger because we have seen the destruction which results when anger leads to sin. We have seen how anger can damage relationships and lead to loneliness. But anger does not have to be destructive. We can be angry without harming others.
Anger can, in fact, be a constructive force in our lives.
Anger alerts us to the fact that something is not right. As a result, anger can protect us and energize us to take constructive action. The fellowship we need in recovery cannot always be conflict-free fellowship. There will be times of anger. And that can be a good thing.
