Anger Management Issues When Drinking Alcohol

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

A lot of people are unable to control their anger when they are drunk. Would you say that you are one of these people or do you know a person who struggles to control their anger when they are drunk? If you have answered “yes” to this question then this article may well be of interest to you.

I am not personally involved with anger management as a career, I actually offer people cheap holidays and work part time in the jobs in foster care sector.

I was only reading this morning on the BBC news website about the convictions for murder of two young men who had killed when under the influence of alcohol. They had some how become involved in an argument with another man, a man they did not know. He fell to the ground and then the second man for some unknown reason kicked him in the head. It was believed that it was his head hitting the pavement that caused him to die rather than the punch and kick of the two men but despite this they were both convicted.

Three men and their family and friends have had their lives ruined - basically due to the over consumption of alcohol. I seriously doubt whether they would have acted in this way had they been sober not that this in anyway should be a defence.

Both men have stated how sorry they are and about how guilty they feel; I for one feel sorry for them both as they will have to live with what they have done for the rest of their lives plus they will spend a number of their best years behind bars. Then there is the families of these two men - they too will have been badly affected by the whole ordeal.

Then, of course, there is the person who has of died, a waste of a promising life, and of course his family. I also of course feel very sorry for this person, his family and friends. I have to say that it is a real tragedy.

I for one have stopped drinking alcohol; a drink that at one staged helped me to speak fluently. I had a stutter for eighteen years of my life and alcohol enabled me to gain the confidence to talk without the fear of stuttering.

I have now managed to overcome the stutter and with the help of a DVD authoring company have produced a seventy minute DVD which describes my journey to fluency along with the techniques required to stop stuttering.

If you are a person who is unable to control their anger when drunk then please learn the lessons from above before your also ruin peoples lives.
