Popis:	The exploration of time experience and temporal perspectives in the discourse of recovering addicts can contribute to the deeper understanding of processes of recovery. The speeches of 56 recovering addicts were analyzed for this purpose. Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis was employed to cross-index the speeches told at admission and graduation from the therapeutic community. Newcomers structure time according to their previous substance use and frame periods of abstinence as “out of order” experiences. Several features of rites of passages—such as unconditional waiting, cyclic time, and shifts in temporal perspectives—co-occurred in the graduation speeches of those who stayed in recovery but were absent from the speeches of those graduates who later relapsed.
