“Life on life’s terms.” What the fuck does that mean? When we live our lives on “our terms,” as we did during our drinking and drugging careers, we are always at odds with ourselves and others. Really, we are at odds with life. Our desires are so overinflated that they cause us to kick and scream when we don’t get our way. Or we struggle as we manipulate more and more to get what we desire. Eventually, we hurt ourselves and others as we continue to try and live life on “our terms.” Life has its ups and downs and its twists and turns. Rolling with that is our task in day-to-day life. Coming to terms with what we can and cannot control (see Serenity Prayer) is a personal responsibility that we must emphasize in our thinking and our lives. Living life on life’s terms involves evaluating our thoughts and desires and what we truly have control over in our lives.
