“Free Day”, while perhaps not the best option overall, has the merit that these days involving freeing the part of you that communicatess through your gut (and through what you feel like doing). During much of our working (and non-working) week, that part is overridden by our mind’s sense of what we have to do.
By contrast, in OP’s Recovery Days this part is either:
(a) doing the most basic recharging before it can do things it positively feels like and enjoys, or
(b) overridden or hijacked by addictive behaviours that it doesn’t find as roundly rewarding as Free Day activities.
