The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the findings relate to various strands of literature which focus on processes and discourses of recovery from problematic drug use (biographical reconstruction), the chronic illness literature (biographical disruption), public\/private discourses and the myth of addiction. Data were collected from four focus groups containing a total of 25 participants, and 15 in\u2010depth interviews. Participants were recruited from drug detoxification programmes (27), recovery units following detoxification (9) and a drug rehabilitation unit (4). Data analysis revealed that the core concern of drug users\u2019 was talking about the \u2018entangled\u2019 nature of their identity whilst they were on drugs. Such \u2018entangled identities\u2019 emerged through what appeared to be a gradual sedimentation process of drug\u2010using habits and routines that replaced those of the everyday self. Other concerns were distancing one's self from the drug using self (involving expressions of disgust) and recovery processes (disentangling). The paper discusses each of these core problems in the light of the literature on the recovery from drug use, the chronic illness literature and the myth of addiction. It concludes by briefly reflecting on problematic psychotropic substance use as another form of biographical disruption formed on the basis of a dialectic between private discourses of the entangled self and public discourses of addiction. It suggests that further work should be conducted in these areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0141-9889.2004.00407.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,29]],"date-time":"2004-07-29T20:47:02Z","timestamp":1091134022000},"page":"597-616","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Entangled identities and psychotropic substance use"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Barry","family":"Gibson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sam","family":"Acquah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter G.","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002204269802800203"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","volume-title":"Mortality, Immortality, and Other Life Strategies","author":"Bauman Z.","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-9566.ep11339939"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","volume-title":"Heroin Century","author":"Carnwath T.","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","volume-title":"Hard\u2010Earned Lives: Accounts of Health and Illness from East London","author":"Cornwell J.","year":"1984"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","volume-title":"The Myth of Addiction: an Application of the Psychological Theory of Attribution to Illicit Drug Use","author":"Davies J.B.","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","volume-title":"The Research Act: a Theoretical Introduction to Sociological Methods","author":"Denzin N.","year":"1989"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203361832"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203426623"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0306-4603(79)90053-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2044-8260.1977.tb00239.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7208\/chicago\/9780226067360.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_1","volume-title":"Theoretical Sensitivity","author":"Glaser B.G.","year":"1978"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_1","volume-title":"The Discovery of Grounded Theory","author":"Glaser B.G.","year":"1967"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/097133369700900105"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/16066350290001687"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203292990"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/9780230503588"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_20_1","volume-title":"Essays on Self\u2010Reference","author":"Luhmann N.","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_21_1","volume-title":"Social Systems","author":"Luhmann N.","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9781503617230"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9781503619340"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_24_1","first-page":"730","article-title":"Taylor and Ricoeur on narrative identity","volume":"2","author":"MacKenzie I.M.","year":"1994","journal-title":"Contemporary Political Studies \u2013 Belfast"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(99)00409-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/713660099"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_14_27_1","first-page":"47","article-title":"Identity and recovery from dependent drug use: the addict's perspective","volume":"8","author":"McIntosh J.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Drugs: Education Prevention and Policy"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Monaghan L.F.(2001a)Body Building Drugs and Risk.
