12. Predictable, Manageable, Acceptable

“Not sure how drinking can be called a relationship,” Brat Boy said, “but how is your life different?”

I was almost twelve years sober when Brat Boy was born.  He had no way of knowing what my life was like right before I quit drinking. 

I said, “Life is somewhat predictable, in a good way.  I’ve gotten into a healthy routine.  It’s mostly manageable because I’m clear-headed and not doing things to make it unmanageable.  And though I’m sometimes slow to accept things that can’t be changed, once I do, it’s almost entirely acceptable.”

Today I will be grateful life can be somewhat predictable, mostly manageable, and almost entirely acceptable.
