Anger Busting Workbook

Foreword

In my many years of helping addicts and their families learn to face the ravages of addiction and overcome it, I have never found an addiction that was easy to conquer. The power of shame is so relentless and its grip is very strong. For that reason, I am always overjoyed when a new tool appears that can help addicts get traction in the fight to take back their lives.

I want to congratulate my dear friend, Jim Baker, for bringing to us just such a tool. The principles and exercises in the Anger Busting Workbook offer clear, simple, common sense answers for anyone who is searching for help in their battle with anger addiction. Over the years, Jim has helped tens of thousands of people become successful in business through his powerful training techniques. It is exciting to me to see him bring that same expertise to the war on addictions.

If you are an anger addict, or in a relationship with an anger addict, this workbook is going to help you make sense out of the mess your life is in. Here you will find a road map to guide you, insights to encourage you, and practical, hands-on exercises to help you tell the truth to yourself as you plan your strategy for conquering anger. It is still up to you to do the work, and the challenge you face is a tough one. But if you are tired of the same old excuses and the old results, you will find plenty of reasons to hope as you work through these pages.

Can a workbook change your life? Well, it depends. We could just as easily ask, “Can a canoe paddle change your life?” They are both just tools. But they can come in real handy if you are tired of staying where you are and you are ready to move on in your life. If you pick either one and really use it, it might just lead to a “moving” experience. Good luck on your journey.
