Sufficient Life
This sounds like a job for a voodoo doll- I made one at work once- it was just a little cute stuffed doll but when I got really, really upset over something (it was a bad time at work right then,) I took out this doll and pictured what (or in somecases who,) had made me so upset and stabbed that little doll repeatedly til my frustration abated. And I mean stbbed- hard and fast and with all my might and with sincere malice. Somehow just finding a diversion for my frustrations relieved them.
I picture a child's tube sock with maybe a little red at the top so it looks vaguely like a cigarette stuffed til nice and round- then take out your aggressions on it- as much as you need and as long as you need til you are over that momentary hump. Focus on the sock-Hate the sock- despise the sock- let the sock know you're boss and you are not going to take it anymore.
I know it sounds silly but it really helped me get over that weak moment. I really felt better relieving the stress when there was no sensible way otherwise to do it.
Hmmmmm- maybe I should make a potato chip doll. And a cupcake doll.............
Keep on going- there is a life after detox.
