Some days you just have to say screw it all and get drunk.

The title says it all. There will be days where things just go wrong. You will miss the person you lost and other bad things will happen. Have a few drinks and do something you enjoy and do your best to just forget. Maybe it's not the way the experts say to do things but every once in a while it's ok to do.

Since my wife passed away I have only gotten drunk twice and had a drink three or four times total. Today was a get drunk and play some games day.

Update: I still believe this is true. Please don't overdo it and it's best to have friends or family around but having a way for your mind to let go of a little bit of the grief for a time does help.
