Abstract

ABSTRACT This article describes the process of spiritual experience in recovery of 57 members of Alcoholics Anonymous from groups located in Southern New Jersey. Eighty-two percent of the participants claimed to have had a spiritual experience. The process of spiritual experiences described by the participants was slow, 72%, sudden, 22%, and both slow and sudden, 6%. This spiritual experience phenomenon was not found to be related to religious denomination, regular church attendance, or daily prayer. Chi-square analyses revealed significant associations between claiming to have had a spiritual experience along with completion of Steps 4, 5, 8 and 9.
