The 12 Steps
Although Psychedelics in Recovery® is made of diverse backgrounds and recoveries, many of us are rooted in the twelve steps of PIR®
With these steps we honor our individuality and our common purpose - to pursue recovery and help others do the same
Fresh off the press
The Twelve Steps For Psychedelics in Recovery™
An Exposition for the PIR® Fellowship
Written by members of our fellowship, in the spirit of Alcoholics Anonymous' Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions — but speaking directly to the experience of finding a home in PIR®. Here you will find compassionate rigor: honesty without self-attack, accountability without shame — and a recovery that bends toward wholeness, not mere abstinence.
The book does not prescribe or describe the use of psychedelics. It meets you wherever you are in your relationship with them — and walks with you toward honesty, willingness, humility, and connection.
Carrying The Message
To Others Seeking Recovery
PIR® is a diverse group of people who suffer from addiction, compulsion, codependency, over-functioning, rescuing — different outsides, similar insides — with a desire to address their addictive and other problematic behaviors while feeling more at home than in other fellowships for which they may otherwise qualify
These steps were written for anyone tired of cycles that cost integrity, peace, or a sense of self

The 12-Step Committee — a group of members and trusted servants in the PIR® fellowship — listened carefully, wrote clearly, and kept returning to the basics: humility, honesty, willingness, amends, prayer/meditation, and service. The result is our fellowship's first book, The Twelve Steps for Psychedelics in Recovery™, now available on Amazon.
