SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information - View Single Post - why does it have to be called recover at all?

For some the problem stops when the drinking stops. For others (like myself) the problem grows bigger when the drinking stops.

For me recovering was suffering. Recovered encompasses so much more than sobriety that it is hard to describe to someone who has not experienced it.

"In this life pain is inevitable, suffering is optional."
