Summary

This study follows 70 Romanian adults with alcohol use disorder who have been sober for at least a year. Researchers use personality tests and spiritual well-being surveys to see what predicts a calm, fulfilling sobriety versus a difficult one. The goal is to better understand recovery, not to test a new drug or therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify factors that support a peaceful, lasting recovery from alcohol use disorder, improving treatment approaches.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 70 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. It does not test a new treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Participants represent a naturalistic cohort of individuals in sustained remission receiving routine community-based recovery support, assessed longitudinally for biopsychosocial-spiritual factors predicting serene versus struggle abstinence.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder according to DSM-5 or ICD-10 criteria documented in clinical records. * Minimum 12 consecutive months of alcohol abstinence prior to baseline assessment (self-report corroborated by group leaders/clinical notes where available). * Current or recent participation (last 12 months) in at least one recovery support program (ACAR support groups and/or Don Orione recovery services). * Ability to understand study procedures and provide written informed consent in Romanian. Exclusion Criteria: * Acute psychiatric conditions requiring emergency intervention (e.g. psychotic episode, severe mania) at screening. * Active suicidal risk (positive PHQ-9 item on suicidal ideation with associated clinical concern) requiring urgent care. * Uncontrolled comorbid substance use disorder (e.g. ongoing illicit drug dependence) that would confound assessment of alcohol-related recovery. * Legal incapacity or inability to provide informed consent. * Severe cognitive impairment (e.g. MMSE below functional threshold) precluding valid questionnaire completion (to be screened where indicated).
