Recovered Addict	comment	The Recovered Addict is a former substance or compulsive behavior addict who has managed to beat their addiction. They have managed to go through the rounds of rehab and withdrawal and come out the other side without falling Off the Wagon immediately after. Then again, addiction recovery, being a long and sometimes painful and/or dramatic road, they might very well have fallen off several times before they figured out how to stay on the wagon. The addiction in question may have been alcohol, other drugs, gambling, or another compulsive behavior. Weirder fare like sex addiction, cannibalism, videogame addiction, and blood drinking are also possible. They may have been The Alcoholic, an Addled Addict or a Functional Addict who got wise and found help. One interesting Character Arc and story for these types of character is to start clean, get addicted, and then recover, with all the drama and pain that that implies. Once clean they can go one of two ways: be outspoken about how Drugs Are Bad and their own past and possibly become The Teetotaler; or try to forget and live down their past and move on, making it Hidden Depths. They'll usually be sympathetic to the suffering of others and seek to help in overcoming addictions as The Sponsor. Theyâ€™re very likely to be found in a 12-step program or equivalent support group at any stage of their recovery process. The Manipulative Bastard will probably try to get them to relapse by offering or forcing them to do drugs or otherwise kicking them Off the Wagon. Friends who are still addicted will probably crawl out of the woodwork asking for money or trying to get them to come back. It's unfortunate, but sometimes they do succumb and relapse, starting the cycle over again. Interestingly some vampires may be able to stave off their Horror Hunger and become recovered blood addicts; transitioning from bloodthirsty monster to Vegetarian Vampire. See also The Sponsor and Addiction Displacement which frequently accompany this character. In optimistic works, this can be the endpoint of a Descent into Addiction character arc. See also: Off the Wagon for when they relapse.

Timmi's father spent his childhood in constant fear of Grampy's next bout of drinking. The final straw was after Timmi's sister Rebecca was born, when Grampy went to the hospital demanding to hold her. He grabbed her out of the bassinet and almost dropped her fighting with the nurses. After that, Timmi and Rebecca's parents decided that Grampy was unsafe and cut him out of their life, to the point of returning his letters to Timmi. After that, Grampy sobered up and started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, but it was too late for his family, and he remained estranged from them for the next six years.

After getting so wasted that his powers crapped out on a mission, leading to the death of one of his only real friends, he tried to kill himself. When that failed, he decided retire from superheroics and join AA instead, and as far as we know, never relapsed (well, not on the drinking, anyway; he did return to being a superhero, but since that was during Infinite Crisis, and he ended up dying in battle, he can probably be forgiven for it.)

Vice President John Hoynes eventually confides in Leo that he's also a recovering alcoholic who got sober after some unfortunate incidents during his college days. He invites Leo to the private Alcoholic Anonymous group that he runs for a handful of their political allies (so that political rivals and the media don't learn about it).

Recovered Addict / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed (1998): It doesn't really affect the plot, but Paige states in her introductory episode that she doesn't drink because she "used to have a problem with certain liquids." It basically serves to prove that her boyfriend doesn't know her well enough to know that and thus that she doesn't know him well enough to recognize when he's possessed by the Source, but they do typically establish that she's drinking mineral water when the others (presumably) have alcohol.

Recovered Addict / int_f3cfb411	comment	Tim from Fragment of Fear is a former Addled Addict who sobered up about a year ago and is now the author of a successful memoir called Addict. His past is used against him - when he tells the police he's being stalked, they assume he's started taking hallucinogens again, and at one point some goons beat him up and then place a syringe in his hand, which he drops down a sewer grate.
