something that might help you get through the anger phase could be to start a work out regiment. be it jogging, riding, lifting weights or even a punching bag. i lifted weights and that eased a lot of stress, along with a bunch of heineken calories!
oh, and if your going to drink, don't do it excessively. better yet, looking back, don't do it at all. i stayed drunk for two months and all it did was take my money and leave me with a hangover.
