I firmly believe that a major piece of the acceptance of our addiction is that we must also learn to accept that life has ups and downs. Even the most well adjusted person in the world has bad days, they simply just ARE. The difference is how we react. You've of course have a year of not turning to alcohol under your belt in these types of situations which is great, the next step is finding healthy ways to deal with the "bad" days and even accept them for what they are and move on.
