Abstract: This study examined the link between grit and substance use recovery, finding that individuals with over five years of sobriety showed higher grit and interest consistency. No significant differences emerged in perseverance or relapse. Integrating grit assessments into treatment could improve outcomes through personalized, strengths-based interventions focused on long-term goals.
