I was at a meeting the other night and the question came up, "what is the real difference between Recovered and Cured." When I first thought about it, I 't have an answer. At least none that made sense. I said a simple little prayer, "God what is the answer?" and about 30 seconds later the answer came as a thought and it wasn't anything that came from me.
"Recovered means removal of the symptoms"
"Cured means removal of the cause"
I know that the cause is alcoholism and it is never removed but the symptoms such as, greed, lust, self centered, envy, fear and others can be removed or at least put in there proper place.
This is only the opinion of one alcoholic.
