I do get what you guys are saying, but again even if the word is positive in meaning the prefix is all about doing something over again - renew indicates something has spoiled and needs to be corrected/changed/updated.

Again, personal preference for ME. At this time, I prefer to use words that do not somehow refer to fixing something broken. Especially since MY recovery encompasses so many sides of growth - my husband's issues, my FOO issues with addiction (ACOA) and sexual abuse (SA), my own lifelong eating disorder (ED).

The biggest success in my journey has been to shed those acronyms and stop identifying with "qualifiers"..... just owning my Self and my life going forward.

*I* am much more than my Recovery. My Story is much more than my acronyms.
