And that's a big debate in AA. Many say you should never say the word "recovered". I know, for myself, I will never say that I am a recovered bulimic. So when this person says she is a "recovering" bulimic, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe that it is currently under control, as it is in my case. But what I was getting at earlier is that sometimes we, as recovering bulimics don't even know when it is "under control" or not since we need SOME exercise and SOME food. So it's a matter of degrees, whereas alcohol can be totally abstained from.
I'm willing to believe that she is a good role model in terms of being healthy. My sole objection is to the provocative nature of the language she used.
