I put in a packet for H8 recovery school and a few weeks later got an email saying I have a wait status verification. Does this mean I have a slot?

From my understanding, it means you are waiting for a slot. You do not currently have a definite slot to go.

It means exactly that. You're on a waitlist til a slot opens for you. Try and knock out all pre-reqs and prepare as if you are, but depending on how soon the course is, don't get super bummed if you don't get the slot. Happened to me with reclass, and they said ATRRS could notify me up to 48 hours from the class start date. I knew I wasn't going to get that slot but prepared as if I were anyway.

Slots for courses are allocated to certain commands to distribute as they see fit. If you are placed in one of these forecasted slots, you will typically get a reserved status notice. Approximately 30 days before the course start date, any unfilled slots will be released, and the wait status soldiers will become reserved based on the ATRRS application submission date. Your training NCO can pull up the ATRRS screen to tell you where you are at on the wait list and how many unfilled slots currently exist.

So if I didn’t immediately get a reservation it means that the course is full and I would have to be pulled from the wait list?

SPC (Join to see) - It means that the slots are allocated elsewhere for right now, not necessarily that it is full. Another command might have 16 slots allocated to it, but they only have 4 people reserved and aren't sending anyone else. At 30-45 days out, those remaining 12 slots would open up for the wait list.
I have been to 30 or 35 schools, and like 60% have started out as a wait status. Unless it is a very small class size or a heavily sought-after course, chances are you will get in. There is only one course that I was on a wait status for that I didn't get into. It was an 8 person class size and frequently got filled by units with reserved slots. I don't know the specifics of the Recovery course though.
If you want a better idea, you can ask someone with ATRRS access to pull up the class and see what the reservations and wait list look like. If you don't know who input the ATRRS application, you can check the wait list email and it will say on the bottom.
Otherwise, just wait til 30 days out.
