I used to have really bad road rage. It sounds bad, I know; and believe me, it was bad. Luckily, I’ve been clean for the past two years now! Have you ever gotten so frustrated with other drivers around you that you felt physically compelled to yell at them? Has your heart ever started to race because you found yourself becoming frustrated with another driver who was driving their car too slow (despite the fact that they might’ve been doing the speed limit)? If so, you may have had a brush with road rage too.
I can remember driving down the highway and feeling myself becoming hot all because the people in front of me were in the “fast lane” but were driving as if they should’ve been on the shoulder. I would follow them a little too closely until they got the message that they were probably in the wrong lane upon which I would then speed around them in an angry flurry. If you asked me where I was heading back then, I couldn’t even tell you- probably to the supermarket or to a friend’s house. All I knew was that other drivers couldn’t match up to me. How wrong I was to think this.
