Résumé :
This study is an attempt towards better understanding of a natural process of recovery. It presents an investigation of recovery without treatment (or natural recovery) from tobacco, snuff (snus), drug and alcohol abuse. A sample of 58 subjects who quit their addiction without any treatment was interviewed. The subjects were interviewed about their life background, addiction history, pre-resolution events (life events and internal factors), strategies used which helped subjects to reach recovery and other information related to the addiction. The Rosenbaum test was administered to test current self-regulation. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate how people manage to recover from addictions without formal treatment and if there are common factors and coping strategies for resolution.
