In case studies of an alcohol use disorder, a common occurrence is for the person in recovery to describe their journey from the early stages of ‘drinking for pleasure’ and the rewarding properties of the drug, to the later stages of ‘drinking without choice’ due to a high negative affect and compulsive behavior.
