Personally, it has a different meaning for me. For me it is 'recovery of,' because when we are lost in our addictions or desperation what we need is to recover our essential selves, that which is our true nature, as it was before we got involved in self-defeating thinkings and behaviors. Recovery from addictive behavior sets the stage for the development of, and recovery of, satisfactions and pleasures that were not possible while still engaged in addictive behavior.
Addictive behavior provides a momentary satisfaction.
Of course, in some cases of stimulant use or other addictive behavior the satisfaction may get increasingly short-lived, but at least it was there at first. If it hadn't been at first, the addictive behavior would not have developed. It is senseless for a helper to downplay this momentary satisfaction. Some have suggested that this satisfaction, the pleasure of the addiction, is the primary reason that the behavior continues. Others have suggested that addictive behavior is a way to cope, and that the development of new coping skills is essential to recovery.
