Abstract

Happiness is a subjective feeling marked by emotions of joy, fullness, satisfaction, and contentment. With a hedonistic approach, it can be explained as an actual, momentary experience which is both delightful and transitory whilst avoiding painful adventures. Life satisfaction, then again, is surprisingly confounded; the terms are usually viewed as equivalent; however, they are two particular ideas. The assessment of one's life in general and not exclusively one's present level of pleasure, is called life fulfilment. This research is aimed at studying the affective and cognitive components of the subjective well-being i.e., Perceived happiness and Life satisfaction respectively, in recovered drug addicts. Happiness measures by M.W. Fordyce and Satisfaction with life scale (1985) were used among 96 selected samples of recovered drug addicts of age 19 years and above with a drug free period of minimum 2 years. High levels of happiness and life satisfaction were recorded among the recovered drug addicts.
