can a person be recovered?
depends on what the meaning would be.
if recovered from alcoholism and can now drink like a normal person, an alcoholic cant do that.
- recovered from the seemingly hopeless state of mind and body that made me drink?
yup.
but that doesnt mean i can drink without consequences now. being recovered in this sense means i no longer care about alcohol nor do i crave it. i no longer have a desire to drink
