abstract="To examine sobriety factors which alcoholics understood being useful for recovery from alcoholism, a case-control study with self-completion questionnaires was conducted in 31 abstinent male alcoholics, aged 39-69 years (mean 53), who were taking part in Danshu-Kai (Japanese Abstinence meeting) for an average period of 5 years, and 31 age (+/- 5 years) matched male nonabstinent alcoholics, who were hospitalized because of alcoholism in a mental hospital for an average period of 7 months. The results indicated that abstinent alcoholics were significantly more married, employed, not hospitalized, having insight into disease as alcoholism, continuously abstinent over 2 years, and experienced in Danshu-Kai or Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) than nonabstinents, similarly understood that &quot;Abstinence meeting&quot; and &quot;Family&quot; significant factors for recovery from alcoholism, they realized that &quot;Risky&quot; was not effective for abstinence, whereas nonabstinents misunderstood that &quot;Risky&quot; was useful to their sobriety. It is suggested that &quot;Stability of business&quot;, &quot;Married life&quot;, and &quot;Insight into disease&quot; contribute to recovery from alcoholism; &quot;Abstinence meeting&quot;, &quot;Pertinent support by family&quot; and &quot;Recognition of Risky&quot; are significant factors for sobriety.<p /><p>Language: ja</p>",
