  • Summary

    Self-regulation strategies–overt or covert behaviors executed during goal pursuit–are theorized to play a key role in recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). This chapter describes putatively adaptive self-regulation strategies (e.g., stimulus control, problem solving) and discusses their role in AUD recovery, defined here as a dynamic process in which individuals strive toward valued goals in many life domains (e.g., relationships, occupation, mental health). Research is then summarized that links these strategies to recovery outcomes and shows that most strategies are associated with reduced alcohol use. However, there is a notable dearth of data on how self-regulation strategies relate to broader AUD recovery outcomes beyond alcohol use. This is an unfortunate gap, especially for advancing a broader understanding of AUD recovery. The chapter concludes that research on self-regulation strategies in AUD recovery needs to be expanded to examine outcomes beyond alcohol-related outcomes, such as well-being, social/occupational functioning, and quality of life.
