Recovered. My grand sponsor says it each time he qualifies.

All the symptoms of alcoholism are gone, and the 'hidden' allergy is not an issue since he hasn't poured any alcohol on it.

I also heard said "If you recover from alcoholism, drinking won't be a problem."

Recovery is so much more than not drinking. The book promises us this.

If you are really curious - read the BB and count how many times the word 'recovered' is used, not recovering, but recovered.

There is a difference.

If you think AA relegates you to a life of 'recovering', you may want to read the common solution again.

edit (I didn't see you posted the book reference Carol - tks)
