Anger
Nor were we ever skillful in separating justified from unjustified anger. As
we saw it, our wrath was always justified. Anger, that occasional luxury of
more balanced people, could keep us on an emotional jag indefinitely.
These emotional “dry benders” often led straight to the bottle. Other kinds
of disturbances—jealousy, envy, self-pity, or hurt pride—did the same thing.
