Abstract: (24 Views)
This research tries to gain a better understanding of the social phenomenon of addiction through a phenomenological studying of the lived experience of recovering addicts in their social relations network. The data has been collected by documentary and qualitative methods. The samples in the direct observation method were the meetings of recovering addicts NA, Congress60, families of addicts anonymous in Nar-Anon, Cmanon, co-travelers of Congress60. Samples in the in-depth interview method were recovered addicts with more than 5 years of recovery, clinical psychologists and social workers at specialized addiction treatment clinics, and Chitgar,Neday-Aramesh,Verdij camps. The results of the research show that the addict had "addiction mental illness" before consuming and one of the causes of this is "experiential avoidance". These results show that after the first use, the addict feels that "his life has just started" and "this is what I wanted" while the addict's family experiences moments of fear and panic, and blames him. Also, the addict and his family become outside of the scope of each other's understanding and this becomes a factor for the continuation of his addiction. These results show that some families have learned that they should not "enter his game" to help their addict and they should first change their lifestyle. Some others have learned that leave him "with love" and put their lives in order so that at least would not become "victims of their addicts". Also, families and therapists are faced with the two paradoxes: considering an addict as a criminal or a patient after committing a crime, and their voluntary or forced withdrawal. These results show that recovering addicts experience the temptation to use addictive substances again, and some of them have been able to stay in recovery by participating in the meetings of NA or the Congress60.
