.....Just a question, do you consider yourself recovering, or recovered?

As a person with a few 24hrs under my belt, I still refer to myself as a recovering Alcoholic. To me, the word recovering brings life into my sobriety, it keeps it "alive" so-to-speak. It almost gives me a feeling of comfort to know that my sobriety is an ongoing process, allowing me to continue to grow and learn in my recovery process. To be honest, I would almost be scared to refer to myself as recovered...it would almost seem that I am tempting fate (it may be silly, but I gotta be me). There are no wrong answers here, everyone is different...no one is more right than the other...I am just curious....

Do you consider yourself recovering...or recovered and why?


Thanks......Cathy
