Sometimes I find myself having a bad day ... or bad string of days ... and it's ok to just accept it for what it is, like Fantail said above, and not attach to it ... let it be exactly what it is for that moment ... cause these moments don't last forever. Things change. And as long as you do what's right (don't drink), you'll come out on the other side, happy with yourself or at least knowing you didn't give into your old habit. And life carries on.
I see two separate things going on. Some bad days or a bad time. And the choice of whether to check out for the moment and drink. We don't have to drink. And we can make good choices about what to do with these 'bad' days. Or, just rest.
