Abstract

ABSTRACT Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a mutual aid program where social processes help individuals maintain recovery. This study aimed to gain insight into attachment characteristics that support the social processes in AA. AA member participants (N = 113), from a publicly available data set, were examined to identify predictors of increased recovery capital (RC), utilizing the independent variables of attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and self-esteem. Results from a multiple linear regression revealed a positive, strong, significant relationship between RC and self-esteem; a negative, moderate, significant relationship between RC and attachment avoidance; and no significant relationship between RC and attachment anxiety.
