I usually try to find something that gives me piece of mind then try to restart my day from there. Doesn’t always work completely but definitely helps.

Excellent advise!
Thank you Maggy. I luckily do not have the urge to drink. I think I will know when to ask for urgent help but I guess sitting in them is what I have always done and don't know what to do from there.
Melissa, you can't be having a bad day as we need your inspiration! 
Honestly, I've been told that writing a gratitude list is the simplest and most effective way to deal with bad days. To go along with that, I try to recognize the progress I've made in order to put things into perspective.
