自然恢复是一种不被理解的现象，在物质滥用领域工作的自助小组成员和专业人员在很大程度上受到挑战，恢复过程是一个终身的条件，需要治疗和/或自助小组进行持续的支持和康复的假设是如此强烈，以至于自己的恢复几乎没有得到信任。然而，越来越多的经验证据表明，自然恢复不仅存在，而且可能比目前认识到的更为突出。本文介绍了一项对酒精中毒和问题饮酒的自然恢复者的研究，报告了他们的主观动机因素和恢复策略，同时研究了一个数据仍然有限的问题--自戒酒以来的感知变化，即，他们的生活是如何因为自己的禁欲而改变的。它集中在丰富的叙事数据，以探索可以应用于各种成瘾的变化经验的意义，目的是照亮新的方法，有可能扩大实践技术和论坛，从而提高其有效性。
Natural recovery is a phenomenon that is not understood and largely challenged by self-help group members and professionals working in the field of sub stance abuse, So strong is the supposition of the process of recovering as a life-long condition that requires treatment and/or a self-help group for on-going support and rehabilitation that recovery on one's own is given little credence. Yet there is growing empirical evidence that natural recovery not only exists, but may be more prominent than is currently recognized. This article presents a study of natural recoverers from alcoholism and problem drinking, reporting their subjective motivating factors and strategies of recovery, while examining an issue of which there is still limited data-the perceived changes since abstaining, i.e., how their lives have been altered by pursuing abstinence on their own. It concentrates on rich narrative data to explore the meaning of the change experience that can be applied to various addictions, for the purpose of illuminating novel approaches that have the potential for expanding practice techniques and forums, thereby enhancing its effectiveness.
