Thanks for bumping this, Bee!
In the years before I began drinking and while I was drinking, I believed a bad day meant a bad life. And, more importantly, I believed that I had absolutely no control over a bad deay.
In recovery, I learned that my perception needed to shift. By making myself look at the positives in my life, the problems seemed manageable. And, I learned that a bad day could be just that and no more. Tomorrow would be another day.
