I never felt anger until a few years ago. I started kickboxing and as I worked the punching bag the anger just started flowing out. So, I got a bag at home and did some real work. I was amazed at how getting it it out and punching/kicking it away made me heal. I come from a severly abusive background and I had a lot to get angry about.
Now, I only get angry every now and then and it is usually over things like politics, war, mean people...very rarely about my life situation. My boyfriend and I almost never fight--we decided that fighting was not what we wanted out of a relationship so both of us go out of our way to be considerate and we talk and talk and talk. The times he has made me angry I (eventually) told him and we worked through it.
Now, if I am feeling angry, its generally for another reason--anger sometimes masks what I truly feel--like disapppointment with myself or abandonment or any of those great things.
