This dissertation studies a possible relationship between spiritual beliefs and the alcoholic s process. The sense of spiritual belief stands for the human being s encounter with himself/herself, that in the end, means the human being s encounter with his/her proper sense. This action is meant to reach a much greater standard in life. The concepts here developed are based on the Analytical Psychology theory and on some scholars who study such a subject. Mostly, this investigation intends to set some parallels between the spiritual phenomenon and religious practice on addicts at a qualified facility for users of psychoactive substances. In order to do so, a specific questionnaire on the usage of liquor and on possible addicts spiritual involvements was produced. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 10 male individuals from 29 to 58 years of age. All of them have been diagnosed as alcoholics. The data collected from the research pointed out that this spiritual belief can help the addict s recovery. The outcome showed that the addict s involvement with symbolic elements is necessary for the construction of a new identity and a new roll in society. The responses were organized in ten categories: previous motivation for the first drink; alcoholic s sensations and feelings when drunk; the need and wish to stop drinking; changes in the way of living because of the dependence; different arguments for the use of alcohol; religious and spiritual orientation; weakening of thoughts on liquor; effects on individual s participation in a group of spiritual subject. The data analysis has shown that there is a strong and positive relation between spiritual belief and the recovery period for the addict. In short, it has been observed that, by keeping a link with a spiritual practice one is able to strengthen his/her self-esteem as well as he/she is capable to understand that life is worthy it to live
