Interestingly put question.
I'm not fully recovered.... and I prolly will never be.
No matter what I do, and no matter what changes I make to my life, I will always be... in some form... in some small way... the same idiot that did what I did. Whatever it is - it doesn't leave.
Recovery would necessitate a lobotomy.
But uh.... Speaking to you, from me, today... Yeah I'm alright. Better than I ever was, actually.
I think anyone can relate to that.... really. Be it addiction, depression, health, relationship trouble, general-type motivation, financial problems, family stuff...
Ya just man-up and work through it.
