Awareness of self-change as a pathway to recovery for alcohol abusers: results from five different groups

Article Abstract:

Previous studies have revealed that self-change is a major pathway to alcohol abuse recovery. However, data from five different groups of subjects suggest that many people are unaware of this fact. Further analyses indicate that the stigma associated with having an alcohol problem may be one reason for this lack of public awareness about self-change from alcohol problems. It was concluded that, by increasing awareness about self-change, alcohol abusers who are unwilling to seek treatment might be encouraged to attempt to resolve drinking problems on their own.
