Objective: to understand how women with a history of substance abuse elaborate their
motivations for abstinence, through dialogue with Edith Stein’s Phenomenology. Methodology:
qualitative study with three female drug users. The participants, who were chosen through
deliberate sampling, took part in individual and semi-structured interviews that were audiorecorded
and completely transcribed. Based on the phenomenological method, the interviews
were analyzed. Results: distinct experiences (sensory, empathetic, and volitional) appear as
mobilizing in the elaboration of each participant about their abstinence process. In dialogue with
Stein, the process of acceptance of these mobilizing experiences was recognized, as well as the
recognition of human finitude and the activation of the will aimed at changing the state of things.
Conclusion: it is concluded that it is possible to identify shared elements, just as it is important
to emphasize the specificity of each story and recognize the uniqueness of each woman who
experiences or has experienced substance abuse.
