I don't know if it is a thing you can recover from. I can't really answer that sorry!

I have GAD as well, have had it my whole life (my earliest memories are of my GAD and my panic disorder) and started therapy/medication for it when I was 12.

I think you can definitely get a handle on it, and overcome it, but I'm not sure if it ever truly goes away. I have managed to not let it affect my daily life anymore, but I still feel it.
