(2024) SOPB63 20241School of Social Work
- Abstract
- This study aimed to gain an increased understanding of significant factors in the exit process from addiction to alcohol or drugs, as well as how the individual process may unfold. Additionally, the purpose of this study was to investigate the significance of relapse in recovery from alcohol- or drug addiction. To conduct this study, data was collected from three autobiographies using a qualitative method. The empirical data contains life stories from individuals with an experience of alcohol- or drug addiction, and how they managed to reach sobriety. To achieve the study’s aim, thematic analysis was used as a methodological approach. In analyzing our results, Antonovsky’s sense of coherence theory (SOC) was used. The study found... (More)

To conduct this study, data was collected from three autobiographies using a qualitative method. The empirical data contains life stories from individuals with an experience of alcohol- or drug addiction, and how they managed to reach sobriety. To achieve the study’s aim, thematic analysis was used as a methodological approach. In analyzing our results, Antonovsky’s sense of coherence theory (SOC) was used. The study found similarities revolving around the recovery process. The most prominent similarity was that the authors stated that belief in a higher power had played a crucial role in overcoming addiction issues to some degree. This factor was especially significant for one of the authors. Furthermore, we found that friends and family members played a significant role in the recovery process and maintaining sobriety. The study also found that all the authors experienced relapse more than once and that there is some significance of relapse. There was one specific relapse of importance that eventually led to change. Concerning Antonovsky’s SOC-theory we found that the authors had a low sense of coherence at the beginning of the recovery process. We also found that they had a high sense of coherence at the final stage of the recovery process. (Less)
