This study is based on whether the perceived social support and spiritual wellbeing
determine meaningfulness of life among recovering substance users. It is a social
survey and the sample of which consisted of 232 recovering substance users who
were contacted at hospitals in Multan city, Pakistan. A booklet consisting of four
scales was administered on the respondents. The data analysis indicated life
meaningfulness to be positively correlated with perceived social support and
spiritual wellbeing; however, it appeared to be having an adverse relationship with
anxiety states. Hierarchical regression analysis suggested that social support from
family and religious wellbeing were more beneficial than that of from friends and
existential wellbeing respectively in explaining meaningfulness of life of the
respondents. The results further demonstrated that depression, anxiety, and stress
did not predict life meaningfulness among the respondents. It was concluded that
perceived social support and spiritual wellbeing have positive effects and determine
the meaningfulness of life among the respondents.
