Description Recovering from substance abuse addiction is not only about the stage of abstinence and remission. It is multifaceted rehabilitation - physical, social, moral, economic, psychical, and spiritual. The grounded theory method is used to elaborate on personal changes in alcohol addiction recovery within a men respondents (if they had a minimum of two years of sobriety). Personal growth aspects are emerging in relationships with the others (in terms of increasing empathy and tolerance, understanding the problems of others, or receiving feedback), emotional self-regulation (managing emotions and accepting experience in terms of reconciliation with addiction), self-care (quality free time spending, education, doing sport and putting effort to appearance), and spirituality (finding the meaning of life and becoming more humble). The main categories in the process of building a new theory related to personal growth in the context of addiction are recovery as a process of growing up and the level of necessary adaptation (eg the necessity of the repressiveness of alcohol treatment). In this regard, two factors are identified - repression and freedom of choice, supporting or hindering the ability to conciliate addiction, influencing the willingness to change and start treatment, and benefit from experience in terms of personal growth. The outcomes should support recovery process and prevent from experiencing relapses.
