• Recovery capital: a systematic review of the literature (2017, methodology): “…(e.g., for an overview see Portes 1998); however, the RC model for addiction was first delineated through a qualitative study of 46 formerly dependent individuals who had avoided formal treatment but were considered “natural recoverers” (Granfield & Cloud 1999, 2001; Cloud & Granfield 2001, 2004).”
• Recovery Capital: A Primer for Addictions Professionals (2008, background): “Members of historically disempowered groups often seek recovery from addiction lacking assets that are taken for granted by those seeking recovery from a position of privilege (Cloud & Granfield, 2001).”

• Conceptualizing Recovery Capital: Expansion of a Theoretical Construct (2008, background): “…misuse reported by those who have been successful in their attempts is the sheer experience of feeling good naturally, without drugs in the body, and with the knowledge that pleasure can be experienced without using mind-altering substances (Cloud and Granfield, 2001; Granfield and Cloud, 1996).”
