12 Step AA Guru Wilson Does LSD; after 22 years of Recovery: "Many AA members still believe that Bill Wilson's famous 'spiritual experience' was indeed a revelation of the Creator. In AA lore the event is told as the beginning of it all. From that moment Wilson is said to have been freed from his obsession with alcohol. So it must have been God, a divine intervention, right? Not necessarily. Wilson was in a state of delerium tremens and was under the influence of the powerful hallucinogen belladonna and other drugs. This complex situation is worth taking a close look at because it is central to so much AA myth and his later dabblings with LSD challenge the idea that Wilson stayed sober from 1934 to his death in 1971."
