well in my experience, there are always going to be problems. Challenges, pains, frustrations, sorrows.... these are all part of this thing called LIFE.
without your 'self made chaos of regular trainwreck drama' brought on by addiction - who you are becomes a clearer image of yourself. Who you are becomes a person who can experience those challenges, pains, frustrations and sorrows in a state of awareness. You become someone who can face them, deal with them, move through them, and emerge to the next step of life without the roof caving in.
Being "OK" feels a little wrong because your addictive mind has become addicted to the cycle of the chaos. It wants extremes. It craves drama.
With time and sobriety we find that "OK" is a wonderful way to greet life's ebbs and flows.
