recruited from July 15, 2012 to October 31, 2012. The various recruitment methods included (but were not limited to) traditional newspaper ads, CraigsList, social media, and intensive outreach within treatment organizations and recovery organizations (Subbaraman et al. in press). Thus, the aggregate WIR sample consists of individuals who define themselves as “in recovery” from alcohol and/or drugs, regardless of what “recovery” means to each particular individual. Within the overall WIR sample (N=9,341), 5,380 individuals stated that alcohol was their primary substance of choice.
