Synopsis: Academic research in alcohol addiction presents diverse
results and subject inadequacies. This study identifies conscience
and its influence through spirituality on successful recovery as
promoting unity and adequacy in the field. The purpose of the study
is to analyze the relationship between conscience, spirituality,
and recovery from alcohol addiction. This threefold framework
underlines the conceptual importance of cognition, affect,
behaviour, spirituality, and character in addiction studies.
Narrative analysis (NA) is employed for designing the present
research. It is utilised for collection, examination, and
formulation of the results derived from the participants' stories.
Semi-structured interviews are used within the NA framework to
provide the data from the twelve participants. The latter are
selected as a homogeneous group based on characteristics of their
addiction, spirituality, and recovery. The analysis of narratives
defines conscience with its cognitive, emotive, and conative
elements as related to spirituality. The conscience's nature and
functioning undergo deterioration during addiction and complete
rejuvenation through participants' spiritual transformation of a
transcendent divine experience. Spiritually empowered conscience
supports progressive recovery from alcohol addiction. The
conscientious approach to self, life, and others is shaped by
virtue and spiritual commitment. Author Biography: Yordan Kalev
