"Man får sätta sig i passagerarsätet och låta Gud köra" : En kvalitativ intervjustudie om sex AA-medlemmars religiösa och spirituella upplevelse i deras nykterhetsprocesser / "You get to sit in the passanger seat and let God take the wheel" : A qualitative interview study on the religious and spiritual experience of six AA members in their sobriety processes

The purpose of this essay is to investigate what practical function religion or spirituality has for six members of Alcoholics Anonymous. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate and analyze the members' religious turning point and compare their views on religion and spirituality before and after sobriety. The methods used are qualitative semi-structured interviews where the collected material in the form of audio recordings will be transcribed to then carry out a narrative analysis on the transcribed material. The results show that religion or spirituality fulfills a practical function for all respondents and that their view of religion and spirituality has changed to a more positive approach. The respondents' turning point came in connection with the early steps in the twelve-step program where everyone created an individual religious or spiritual view.
