匿名戒酒会（AA）是一个精神项目，参与其中与灵性的增加有关。一些在AA之外寻求恢复的人也使用灵性来支持。在没有AA参与的情况下减少饮酒可能会导致精神上的改变，但这在以前的研究中还没有被探索过。本研究调查了饮酒和AA行为，以确定其与随后的灵性7个维度的关联。一项为期30个月的小组研究招募了364名酒精依赖者。多水平模型检查了6个月时的饮酒和AA，作为6-30个月内评估5次的7个维度灵性水平和轨迹的预测因素。控制AA参与，饮酒较少与生活中更高水平的目的，自我宽恕和精神/宗教实践相关。控制饮酒，更大的AA参与与更高水平的积极宗教应对，日常精神体验，宽恕他人，精神/宗教实践。无论是AA还是饮酒都不能预测灵性的轨迹。数据可视化确定了一种模式，即在禁欲的人和饮酒强度较低的人中，生活目标和自我宽恕的程度都有所提高。减少饮酒影响了灵性的各个方面，这些方面已经被证明是对经验和成熟的反应。AA与嵌入在12个步骤中的灵性方面有关，这些步骤已被证明对学习和建模有反应。这些知识有可能为有关恢复选择的决定提供信息，并有助于在成瘾恢复过程中对精神变化性质的理论理解。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2017阿帕，保留所有权利）
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a spiritual program and involvement in it has been associated with increases in spirituality. Some who pursue recovery outside AA also use spirituality for support. Decreasing drinking without AA involvement might result in spiritual change, but this has not been explored in previous research. This study investigates drinking and AA behavior to determine their association with 7 dimensions of subsequent spirituality. A 30-month panel study recruited 364 individuals with alcohol dependence. Multilevel models examined drinking and AA at 6 months as predictors of both the levels and trajectories of 7 dimensions of spirituality assessed 5 times over 6–30 months. Controlling for AA involvement, less drinking was associated with higher levels of purpose in life, self-forgiveness, and spiritual/religious practices. Controlling for drinking, greater AA involvement was associated with higher levels of positive religious coping, daily spiritual experiences, forgiveness of others, and spiritual/religious practices. Neither AA nor drinking predicted trajectories of spirituality. Data visualizations identified a pattern of elevated purpose in life and self-forgiveness among individuals who were abstinent and among individuals who drank less intensely. Reduced drinking influenced aspects of spirituality that have been shown to respond to experience and maturation. AA was associated with aspects of spirituality embedded in the 12 steps which have been shown to be responsive to learning and modeling. This knowledge has the potential to inform decisions about recovery options, and contributes to theoretical understandings of the nature of spiritual change over the course of addiction recovery.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
