I can only say well done! to what Solstice has suggested. You need a life that doesn't revolve around all the things you don't have, want and feel ungrateful for. In NA and AA, sponsors have you write gratitude lists for a reason == to get you to focus on the positive and possible, to accept what you can't change. You are focussed on trying to change the things you can't change but can't accept and making yourself desperately unhappy in the process. Volunteering can be a great way to learn gratitude and acceptance. Short of that, doing service at meetings helps people learn acceptance and build fellowship == chairing meetings, acting as treasurer, making coffee, going on committments.
