I’m having a hard time coming up with something. I have a million things to be grateful for but I’m being so ungrateful for those things right now. I haven’t been as productive as I wanted to today and my kids have needed my attention every few minutes. I feel like everything is overstimulating me and I’m getting irritated easily. I lost my cool with one of my kids and that’s not cool with me.
I’m grateful that if I wake up tomorrow that I’ll get a new chance to do and be better.
I’m grateful that there are meetings tonight and I can go.
I’m grateful for pick up grocery ordering because I’d have a breakdown taking my 2 small kids into the grocery store today.

I have the same problem !!!! I have so much to be grateful for but to pick one and write down overwhelms me and then aggravates me ….
I was aggravated by all the small things that didn’t really matter yesterday. Being agitated and aggravated got in my way of me being grateful. Trying to do and be perfect and expecting perfection from 2 small kids was on me.
But I did make it to a meeting and honestly it blessed me… and I feel a little more centered today.

Sounds to me like you did find a few things to be grateful for. I’ve got one more for you…grateful to be aware of how you are feeling today. This awareness gives you the pause (the power of choice) you need to not run and medicate, but to instead go to a meeting. This is huge!! This is what staying sober ODAAT looks like. It will get better. Keep living in the solution

I begrudgingly wrote my gratitude yesterday and I hated feeling that way. I know I have so much to be grateful for. I could normally pick the silliest thing and legitimately be so grateful for that thing. I wasn’t getting what I wanted and things weren’t going as I planned. I just wanted to be angry at everything. I was having an adult temper tantrum fit because of the smallest things. Ridiculous. The meeting I went to yesterday evening was mostly about take self inventory. Boy oh boy…. did I need to take some self inventory and do some self reflecting of what was going on and what was my part.
I’m glad I caught that meeting because by the end of the drive home I had several things I was really grateful for!
One day at a time!
