Table 2 shows unweighted frequencies and weighted percentages for recovery-related experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in total and by gender. Weighted percentages allowed for inferences about the population of adults in recovery from AUD. We found that nearly equivalent, large majorities of women and men reported that the COVID-19 pandemic had not at all affected their relationship with alcohol or drugs and their recovery (88.9% and 88.8%, respectively). Similarly large and equivalent majorities of women and men reported that the COVID-19 pandemic had not made it more difficult to resist alcohol or drugs (94.2% and 92.8%, respectively). Indeed, mild relapse events were infrequent in our sample, with only 45 participants (3.1%) reporting a resumption of drinking after being abstinent and 35 participants (2.7%) reporting an increase from previously moderated drinking, with no significant differences in prevalence between men and women.Table 2Experiences related to the COVID-19 pandemic in a national sample of adults with resolved alcohol use disorder, n (%).Table 2Full sample (n = 1492)Women (n = 463)Men (n = 1029)pHow much has the coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak affected your relationship with alcohol
