12-Step Participation Is Linked to Lower Drinking and Specific Impulsive Personality Traits in Early Alcohol Use Disorder Recovery
Increased TS attendance was associated with significant reductions in drinking and certain impulsivity traits in early AUD recovery. However, while the changes were contemporaneous, impulsivity did not explain the benefits of TS effects. Future research should evaluate this hypothesis in larger samples and over longer follow-up periods.
