cognitive efficiency (with lower levels predicting failure to remit). In the current study, marriage was associated with remission from AUD and might reflect a life circumstance more closely aligned with behavioral control than dyscontrol. Marriage and stable relationships are associated with untreated remission from AUD in population-based samples and with better treatment outcomes in clinical samples (Bischof et al. 2001; Dawson et al. 2005; Moos & Moos, 2006). These associations may reflect life transitions that catalyze natural remission (Dawson et al. 2005, 2006; Moos & Moos, 2006), or they may be consequences of reduced drinking and life changes following remission.
