The purpose of this study was to discover the internal aspects of change in persons who are doing well living without alcohol. The heuristic research method, a qualitative phenomenological design, was used to investigate the experience of recovery. Eight recovering alcoholics were interviewed in depth. The process of recovery reflected a mythological journey comprising a departure from the shadowland of drinking, initiation into the world of sobriety, and knowledge gained along the way. New adaptive strategies were acquired, including strengthening the will, training the mind, and exercising spiritual qualities in one's daily life. The profile of doing well in recovery also reflected self-acceptance and an ongoing search for connecting with the transpersonal realm.
本研究的目的是探索那些成功戒酒者生活变化的内在方面。采用启发式研究方法，即一种定性现象学设计，来调查康复经历。对八名戒酒康复者进行了深入访谈。康复过程反映了一段神话般的旅程，包括从饮酒的虚幻世界中脱离，进入清醒的世界，以及在此过程中获得的知识。获得了新的适应策略，包括强化意志、训练心智以及在日常生活中培养精神品质。康复过程中的良好状态还反映了自我接纳以及对与超个人领域建立联系的持续探索。
