If you maintain the disease model of addiction, you can call it spontaneous remission. Of course this is one of the characteristics of addiction, that is often used to discount addiction as a disease. Few things annoy the medical industry more that people who just get better without professional medical intervention.

From what Tina has shared, I would say she has taken some pretty positive and powerful steps to change her life and thinking toward drinking.
