Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-70 years. * Documented history of alcohol use disorder according to DSM-5-TR or ICD-10 diagnostic criteria. * At least 12 consecutive months of continuous alcohol abstinence before enrolment/current T2 assessment. Any alcohol consumption interrupts continuous abstinence and restarts the qualifying 12-month interval from the date of last use. Abstinence is established by structured self-report and, where available and consented to, corroborated by clinical notes or Club-facilitator documentation. * Archived pre-enrolment MCMI-IV profile available for retrospective extraction. * Ability to understand study procedures and provide written informed consent in Romanian. Exclusion Criteria: * Acute psychiatric condition requiring emergency intervention at screening, including acute psychosis or mania. * Current uncontrolled non-alcohol substance use disorder, defined as ongoing use associated with intoxication or withdrawal, urgent treatment need, marked functional impairment, or investigator judgment that reliable consent or study completion would be compromised. * Legal incapacity or inability to provide written informed consent. * Severe cognitive impairment or communication difficulty that, in the screening clinician's judgment, precludes valid consent or reliable completion of study procedures. Historical or stable treated nicotine use, prescribed medication use, or a non-alcohol substance use disorder in sustained remission does not constitute automatic exclusion. A response other than 'not at all' to PHQ-9 item 9 triggers immediate clinical suicide-risk assessment and the local safety pathway; it is not, by itself, an automatic exclusion criterion.
