I wouldn't take it too hard Tatsy. I think it's quite hard to scrub all references to religion and spirituality from a secular forum, let alone one with 12 steps in its title. Our experiences are, after all, our own. They are facts. Others might question the meaning or even the reality of that experience but that's their right. Nothing IMO can invalidate the experience itself.

I was a bit worried about the subject of the thread when I started it because of the nature of the subject. It's a VERY controversial topic. It involves drugs and an AA founder. The current research on LSD was what I wanted to highlight. Perhaps one day LSD will be shown to have some value in fighting alcoholism (as counter intuitive as that may seem).

Until then, I know our shared experiences do.
