LOVE how you use "recovered" and not "recovering." That's what bothers me about all that NA shit - it's like they make you doomed to be an addict forever, like self-fulfilling prophecy kind of thing... But perhaps for people with longer-term addictions, it's what's necessary.
Thanks. :) I take issue with labels. Words have power, both internally and externally. What I put out into the world is what I want to actualize. This is very different from how I used to behave and it has made a tremendous difference. Being mindful of words (especially absolutes like should, ought, etc.) has reduced my irrational thinking and generally leaves me in a contented emotional space. NA and AA served me well in the beginning of my recovery process, but I could only get so much from it before moving on. People who get stuck and stagnant are dooming themselves, in my opinion.
