recovering
Bouncing back now
Recovering describes the process of regaining something lost—health, composure, stolen property, or financial stability: She's recovering from surgery, Markets are recovering after the crash.
In addiction contexts, recovering signals ongoing management rather than completion: a recovering alcoholic acknowledges the condition persists even without active drinking.
The word implies progress without claiming full restoration.
