How to accept and embrace the fact that I can no longer eat Ben and Jerry's Phish Food/ Cookie Dough due to a stupid dairy allergy
It made me
contented 
"It was initially difficult to cope with the lack of chocolatey fish and marshmallow goodness, not to mention the luscious squish of raw cookie dough, but I have finally learnt to live with the pain."
How I did it: I took it day by day and after a while I began to stop missing ice cream. It does take a while but it really is worth it, trust me. There are so many things that can help you through this difficult time.
Lessons & tips: Do not succumb to the ice cream, no matter how much you miss its glorious melt-in-your-mouth texture or the chocolatey/cookie doughy taste sensations. You do not want to throw up all over your boyfriend/girlfriend's jeans. Not good.
Resources: Swedish Glace Vanilla Soya Dessert (replacement ice cream that actually tastes amazing!) and chocolate sauce that didn't contain any milk.
