Katie Witkiewitz @katiew.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Link to free pre-print and all analysis code here, osf.io/wm6ya/files/... Bottom line: Access to environments with alcohol-free activities and socioecological systems matter in supporting recovery. Huge thanks to #NIAAA for supporting this work!osf.ioOSF 002
Katie Witkiewitz @katiew.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Why this matters? 1. We need to stop thinking about alcohol recovery solely at the individual level, community matters! 2. Consistent with theory, increasing access to alcohol free activities is especially helpful for those in more impoverished environments. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....tandfonline.comWhole person recovery from substance use disorder: a call for research examining a dynamic behavioral ecological model of contexts supportive of recoveryAbstinence has long been considered the defining feature of recovery from substance use disorder, with a focus on individual level factors associated with abstinence rather than identifying individ... 100
Katie Witkiewitz @katiew.bsky.social · 27/07/2026We found: 1. Engagement in alcohol-free activities predicted less heavy drinking 12-months after treatment. 2. People in impoverished environments engaged in fewer alcohol-free activities. 3. Engagement in alcohol-free activities was *particularly* protective in more impoverished environments. 100
