Denial keeps anger trapped. Rageaholics, like other addictive personalities, refuse to admit that there is a problem. Until forced to face their issue, anger addicts will go through life believing in their minds that everything is fine and they will seldom admit that they were ever wrong. Denial guarantees that the process or cycle of rage and righteous indignation will continue.

Anger has a detoxification period, just with any addiction. The initial stage of detoxification is considered to be a minimum of 90 days. The full detoxification process can take as long as a few years depending on the extremity of the case. Rageaholics must address not only psychological issues but correct nutritional issues as well. The stress of harboring long term anger does result in several nutritional deficiencies. Rage is a shame based expression of anger. It is by definition, abuse. If a Rageaholic wants life then they have to be continually free over the longterm of anger, just as an alcoholic has to be continually free from alcohol.

Rageaholics are harboring feelings or thoughts of resentment and they fantasize about revenge. Sometimes this is all they think about. Rageaholics will utter threats such as to destroy a person, but not just destroy a person, a Rageaholic will be more descriptive. A Rageaholic will threaten to destroy a person in detail such as, mentally, physically, financially, etc. A Rageaholic will then, over a course of years, commit themselves to that course of action, for when the force of anger becomes so strong it is sometimes irresistible and the anger is then followed by action. The "wrongs" of others, the craving for adrenalin, and the want for revenge continually leads to rage. The life of a Rageaholic eventually becomes chronically revenge-oriented. At that point anger takes over completely. On the flip side, for those who are forced to live with a person who is an anger addict, they often become extremely boundary focused in an attempt to maintain a secure zone around themselves.

Anger addiction or "rageaholism" is the compulsive pursuit of a mood change by repeatedly engaging in episodes of rage despite adverse consequences. Rageaholics will continue to rage or execute their anger based motivations compulsively without regard or remorse to the negative impact or consequences.

The good news is, there is a cure. There are excellent anger management programs available in most communities. Become informed. Break free of the bondage of anger addiction. Grab hold of the excellence that life has to offer.
