Summary

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains a major public health burden in Romania, with very high alcohol-attributable mortality and years of life lost. Conventional treatment focuses on achieving abstinence, but the distinction between "struggle abstinence" (persistent cravings, anhedonia, white-knuckle willpower) and "serene abstinence" (anhedonia resolution, restored reward, meaning and quality of life) is poorly characterized in the Romanian context.

This longitudinal observational study uses the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-IV (MCMI-IV) together with a brief neuropsychosocial-spiritual battery to identify which personality patterns and clinical syndromes predict serene versus struggle abstinence in adults with DSM-5 alcohol use disorder who maintain at least 12 months of sobriety in Romanian community recovery settings.
