These outcomes are often measured through recovery capital which recognizes the various resources, both internal and external, that one may use to enhance their recovery. Internal and external resources can also be accumulated by engaging in an activity an individual is passionate about, explained by the dualistic model of passion (DMP) as enhancing mental and spiritual well-being, health, and personal growth, thereby fostering positive emotions, community involvement, deeper relationships, and heightened performance across various life domains. Evidence indicates that both RC and the DMP contribute to improved health outcomes including life satisfaction and well-being; however, the DMP has not yet been applied to addiction recovery science. The current study aimed to contribute to the growing body of research on addiction recovery by exploring the way passion may influence recovery outcomes. Further, the study investigated how the differences in passion type [e.g., harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP)] impacted RC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants for the study (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f346; <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\u202f=\u202f42.1; 53.2% Male) included individuals who self-reported being in recovery from alcohol and\/or drugs and completed an online survey through Amazon\u2019s Mechanical Turk platform.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A significant bivariate correlation was found between HP and RC (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f0.42, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001), and mean comparisons showed significant differences for individuals endorsing HP as they scored higher on a measure of RC (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f4.69) than did their peers endorsing OP (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\u202f=\u202f4.26).
