By having faith that everything would work out.
By changing my thinking - a bad day would not turn into a bad week, month, year. It was just that, a bad day.
By not acting on the bad day by doing something "stupid" to try and feel better. I went with the flow of the bad day.
I attended Al Anon meetings, took a walk, went to the movies, called a friend.
Good luck!
