Alcoholism is a disease that affects the central nervous system, producing a sense of pleasure through the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, in a way that interferes with a person's life, causing changes in behavior and addiction to those who consume it. Regarding the difference between genders, the effects of alcohol are faster in females, given the largest proportion of fat tissue, variations during the menstrual cycle and differences in gastric concentration of alcohol metabolism. One of the possible ways to analyze the struggle with alcohol dependence is through the concept of resilience of an individual, understood as the ability of an individual to recover from adversity and adapt positively in situations of tension and stress. Excessive use of alcohol can also affect the quality of life, individual or social, causing diseases in the liver and stomach and / or depression, problems at work, of a legal nature or some violent episode. This study aims to analyze the resilience and quality of life of women who make excessive use of alcohol in João Pessoa - PB. The difficulty in finding a sample with such peculiar characteristics makes this population rare or difficult to access. As an alternative to study this type of population, Respondent Driven Sampling (sampling directed to the participant) was efficient, because it uses as a means of recruitment the possibility of calculating the probability of selecting an individual appointed to join the research. It is important to emphasize the difficulty in using this method, given that the idea of financial incentives or bonuses is not allowed by Brazilian ethics committees. The method allowed the analysis of information from 36 women. Of these, 9 were seeds seeking support in the CAPSad III, Centro POP and Ruartes. All consumed alcohol in combination with other drugs, especially marijuana and cigarettes. With the AUDIT, it was possible to observe that the women needed diagnostic evaluation and treatment, as 80.6% were in the risk zone 4. The WHOQOL-bref showed poor quality of life of these women, particularly with regard to the environment. The CD-RISC10 draws attention to the low level of resilience. It is important to highlight that when analyzing the level of resilience relative to AUDIT risk zones it was observed that women who are in zone 4 have, for the most part, low to intermediate resilience. The results showed that resilience is associated with religion, the use of crack, antidepressants and cigarettes, and the domains 1 (Physical), 2 (Psychological) and 4 (Environment) of quality of life. With this study it was possible to observe the magnitude of the problems arising from excessive use of alcohol, showing the importance of presenting to the society how complex this problem is, so that we can expose to the government how to help them make the necessary decisions to support not only women, but all who need help to treat alcohol addiction.
