Bump for antidote to my crankiness!
My first posts on this wonderful thread were in jest...mainly because in my own recovery I found my sense of humor again. Then I lost it somewhere between home and the office on Monday and am still looking for it!
So...in that vain...today I am grateful for the Al-Anon Just for Todays...and really have been for the entire year I have been in the program. I keep my little bookmark handy so I can read them regularly. And in my crankiness the last few days, they have been a lifesaver (probably more for my kids then me!)
Learning these little "mind tricks" to get myself out of a funk and stop my own stinkin thinkin has been so helpful. But so has learning to give myself permission to say I am just damn cranky this week and am going to lock myself in my room/office alone and not take it out on anyone else, or look for others to blame. My emotions are my own.
