| Summary: | Recovery from alcohol problems without treatment is a subject that has received little attention in the addictions literature. This study used media advertising to solicit people who had resolved a drinking problem on their own. The research used a semi-structured interview as a basis for a qualitative analysis of the phenomenon of recovery without treatment. Attention was focused on reasons offered for resolving a problem and factors involved in maintenance of that resolution. Rccovery methods used by these subjects are compared with those commonly recommended by most treatment programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous. The issues of labelling and acceptance are also discussed. |
