Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the effect of the two types of spiritual experiences found in Alcoholics Anonymous on the promises of AA, locus of control measures and family dynamics. Participants in the study included 71 members of Alcoholics Anonymous (40 males and 31 females) from groups located in Southern New Jersey. Those with slower spiritual experiences had more conflict (triangulation) with their parents, felt more parental intimidation, were more external on a locus of control measure and spent less time in daily prayer than those with a sudden spiritual experience. More promises were attained by those claiming a spiritual experience.
