: I am a very concerned member about the constant way some members are distorting our message. We have members that are claiming that they have gotten to a point where they no longer identify themselves as addicts, but as "Recovering Persons". They are also claiming that the Basic Text is where they learned that they could become these "Recovering Persons" and not "Recovering Addicts". I have not been able to locate anything in the Basic Text that would lead me to have even a distorted belief to valid that statement. Please help?
FYI, I did a search of the Basic Text, fifth edition and the Term "Recovering Person/s" is not there in book one.
In Loving Service,
Gayle
