Getting over it

What are some of the ways you have of dealing with break-ups?

Being out here in Iraq was not the best place to cope with it because Im pretty much isolated...so I had joined the men's/co-ed basketball team (and won the championship) and the women's basketball league...I actually gained interest in a guy here whose also from Nellis AFB, Las Vegas...so that kinds distracted me.
I started to wonder whether sex with someone you like, or a rebound, would also be of some help. I honestly don't think so, in fact, I may regret it.
Im pretty much ok and ready for some more action when I get home...I was just wondering what everybody else does/did to cope with break-ups...
