Most participants were actively drinking alcohol at time of admission (n\u2009=\u200926) and 16 participants were interviewed during their index admission with alcohol-related liver disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A renewed understanding of the health risk posed by future alcohol made participants confident that they would not return to alcohol use and participants felt that the most important factor in relapse prevention was their own motivation and willpower. However, many rejected the identity label of \u2018alcoholic\u2019 and drew a distinction between themselves and \u2018bad drinkers\u2019. These factors combined to create a barrier to relapse prevention therapies, since participants felt these were neither appropriate nor necessary for them.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Enhanced self-efficacy, a belief in the importance of willpower, and a rejection of the alcoholic identity can together act to reduce engagement in relapse prevention in patients with advanced liver disease.
