This study used the photovoice methodology to understand the experiences of young adults in recovery from substance use disorder in South Korea. Four participants with a history of substance use disorder who maintained abstinence engaged in photovoice. Thematic analysis yielded four overarching themes-(a) what I wish to leave behind; (b) when I feel cravings and how I cope with it; (c) social stigma due to my substance use; and (d) the life that makes me happy-along with 16 subthemes. Findings emphasize the need for culturally tailored interventions to address stigma toward individuals in recovery from substance use disorders.
