Can you look back and see that you are less hostile now than you have been in the past? What has helped you in this regard?
It's something that I've been working on. I'd like to get to the point where I don't feel anger at all. All I have are painful memories of the times that I've been angry.

I don't have a hot temper, per se, but I've certainly felt anger towards others and myself.
Anger management classes and therapy can help explore the root of your anger and ways to properly channel those emotions. I don't know that it is possible to completely get rid of hostile feelings. I think a therapist could answer that question.
Try to remember how we feel isn't always within our control. It's our actions that matter and we can learn to control our actions. My pdoc recommends a safe way to express anger by punching a pillow or screaming into it.
