Recovered ?
As in "recoveredcrackhead"?
When I speak at rehabs I will write that with the ****** part. Yes that is my e-mail address. I have been taken to task by counselors/facilitators about being recovered or always recovering. I believe I have recovered and now I am continueing to grow, as do most people, straight, sober or in recovery.
To me recovered means to "restore to a former or original state". Which I guess would put me a the mental/emotional level of a 12 yr old. That does not appeal to me, so I continue to pursue growth, change. My attitudes about life have or are changing. I realize the benefits of being sober as well as the harm drugs have done. I care about others, in recovery or not. I seek to help on a daily basis and I try to lead by example. If I have what you want or need, you can have mine. Spiritual or material, I will give it away as I, seek to find the source that keeps me replenished and satisfied.
Be Well,
Larry
