I'm just an open book, everybody can read my emotions easily, I'm kinda of a reactive person even if I don't say nothing and not subtle about....

This u/sanbessa95 is the best way. I’ll give you a few techniques;

Breath; simply focus on breathing/your breathe whenever you feel emotionally overwhelmed or circumstances are causing an emotional response. There’s a reason why breathing is focused upon when weight training, cardio, yoga, Pilates and such. It’s a great catalyst for SELF CONTROL.
Learn to be objectively self aware; realise when you’re emotional and be objective in your assessment. e.g. ”Fuck I’d like to rip his off.” your internal dialogue should be ”I’m enraged. Why am I allowing myself to feel this way?” Then if possible address the cause productively.
Have a plan; if you’re an open book develop a plan when you KNOW you’ll be exposed to stimuli that elicit an emotional response. e.g. Going to Game 4 of The NBA Finals. Probably will drink a little less. Or more.

Obviously stimuli vary; as do appropriate responses. With practice; learn to master your emotional response to your benefit.

N.B. - Poker is great too. It’s called a Poker face for a reason.

Godspeed and good luck!
