Anger... How do we deal with this via the 12 Steps?

I'm not talking about resentment here, but anger. How do we deal with it when it crops up? Are we to ask God to remove it? Should we be automatically free of anger due to our "proper" taking of the steps? Does taking the steps make you sinless? Anger is yippie skippy until the person you disagree with is using it, right? Oh I get it now. Just another debating technique.
