    day 33
    i was in a hurry to a physical therapy session, i planned leaving work earlier today, and i got delayed alot, i started getting very, very angry, i sat in the company car waiting for a co worker, good friend, to finish with a client and pick me up, the client was so ungreatful and wasted so much time asking stupid questions, we took 30 minutes to get rid of him, for something that should take 4-5 minutes, i started yelling in the car (windows closed), punching the door and arm rest with much power, i felt so helpless because i was running late and there was nothing i could do about it.
    my neck and lower back issues are killing me, and i never allow my self to miss these sessions, after my friends finished with the client he got in the car and started driving to the place, the entire drive which was about 15 minutes i was babbling and swearing the ungreatful client.
    don't remember another event that i got so furious, ever

    Relatable. Temper tantrums and emotional outbursts have possibly complicated many of my life stuffs. A combination of calmness and proactive approach seems to be the better option.

    One thing that I find helpful is the following quote

    "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."

    Congrats on making past a month PMO free! Keep winning! :)

    All part of the process. For me the resurgence of emotions and the need to express them is a definite symptom of abstinence.

    I was recently spending the weekend at a friend's house. I was on day 14 or so. I genuinely like his girlfriend and we're always happy to see each other, but this time she and another friend were actively engaged in some discussion about gender issues. I didn't know this, but over the years she had developed some very strong opinions on the subject, many of which I feel are completely deranged. I usually don't get involved in these discussions because I know that my opinions are extremely unpopular among that particular friend circle, so I stay quiet to keep the peace. This time, however, I walked right into it, with a vengeance. I have a feeling that friendship may never fully recover, but I'm still happy I did it. There's a feeling of strength when one speaks his inner truth.

    While being calm and level headed is always desirable, sometimes anger is also justified. Often times people confuse "accepting the moment" with "allowing people to be a-holes".

    It’s just a temper tantrum happens to the best of us. Just don’t dwell on it. It’s probably gonna happen more and the more it happens I’m sure you’ll learn to manage it a little more healthier.
