“Almost to the end, [Alcoholics Anonymous cofounder Bill Wilson] engaged in serious and prolonged experiments with spiritualism, hallucinatory drugs such as LSD and megavitamin doses of niacin.” (Bold mine)

-From ‘Getting Better: Inside Alcoholics Anonymous,’ by Nan Robertson, pg.124

Robertson notes Wilson “felt that no one should have to believe in any particular religious faith or dogma; that each member was entitled to a personal interpretation of the words ‘God as we understand Him,’ including the concept of the A.A. group as a ‘Higher Power.’” (pg. 124)

Nan Robertson is a Pulitzer prize winning journalist and Alcoholics Anonymous member.
