I thought I heard Matrika (1:322/739) say: 
 ->>Well I can't say that lately.  (About people don't seem to be quite so 
 ->>difficult to deal with with Al-Anon and the Program - whatever program)
 ->>Lately I find myself detaching from lots of people - I'm just plain fed
 ->>up with a lot of games - but I am NOT doing it with detachment.  I am 
 ->>coming from a very VERY harsh place.  (Lots of anger coming out for 
 ->>some reason) 
odd...last Friday's alanon meeting was on detachment...and so many people 
shared that before they were able to detach with love (or even neutratity ;-) 
at first the only way they COULD detach was with anger...so perhaps you 
aren't alone.
 ->>Whatever is going on, I hope I get it out of my system soon.  I think I
 ->>will be able to tell that I have done so when I stop gritting my teeth 
 ->>as I say "But for the Grace of God". (Grin)
I'll share what I shared that nite at the meeting...the thing that BEST helps 
me to release the anger...or to...let it be transmuted from rage to 
compassion (because I can't hold both in my mind at the same time...they seem 
to be mutually exclusive) is to be willing to ask 
godasidon'tunderstandhim/her/it to let me see the individual or situation as 
he sees it...
that's worked for me, when nothing else seems to have.
