Libraries

As members of Psychedelics in Recovery, we are often encouraged to explore, learn, ponder, discover and seek.  

Found here are several hundred relevant and obscure digital papers, documents, theses, and books relating to AA history, psychedelics and addictions and recovery.  Broken into 2 libraries: Historical Psychelic and Historical 12-step related at the bottom, we certainly hope that you find discoveries within these pages.

Historical Psychedelic and Addiction Research, Papers, Studies and Books

Rarely seen documents including the Towns Hospital Belladonna Cure protocols, various studies during the 1950s that showed tremendous outcomes in the usage of LSD and alcoholism, questionnaires used in research studies, theses and other historically relevant documents and books

Historical AA, Oxford Group, Washingtonians, and Miscellaneous

Many of these have rarely been seen in digital format, but includes most of the major influences in the formation of Alcoholics Anonymous, including Oxford Group books, documents, New Thought movements, Emmanuel Movement, Keeley Cure, and the 10 original recommended books by early AA’s.  

NOTE:  Early AA was heavily influenced by Christian books and themes and these documents are provided here for purely historical reasons
