While I'm here, here's a part of my book that may probably may not offend you'll my crazy tribal friends. I wanted to write about his LSD experiance, but then I didn't want 2 million AAs waiting to shoot me down. :

Alcohol interferes with the ability of the liver to convert glycogen into glucose. Thus prolonged heavy drinking in alcoholics can lead to blood sugar fluctuations, hypoglycemia and diabetes. Hypoglycemia and blood sugar fluctuations cause depression, irritation and anxiety attacks (which if left uncorrected, is one of the main causes for alcoholics relapsing). Bill Wilson the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, in spite of being sober went through a period of depression lasting roughly eleven long years till 1955. Having overcome his psychological problem Bill started seeking ways and means to help alcoholics with psychiatric problems who were finding it difficult to recover in AA.
By 1965 Bill Wilson was convinced that the alcoholic’s physical abnormality (or allergy in AA terminology) was caused by some disturbance in blood chemistry, often hypoglycemia or low blood sugar and that it could be controlled by diet (little glucose, sucrose or other simple carbohydrates, low caffeine, high complex carbohydrates, and frequent feedings) and vitamin B3. He put together three papers on vitamin B3 for the medical profession the first in 1965. With zeal similar to that he had brought to the infant AA program 30 years back he started spreading the message about vitamin B3. However because of the 12 Traditions of AA, he was forced to stop talking about it at AA meetings. The result of this has been that alcoholics today are ignorant of it. But till the end Bill Wilson remained a strong advocate of vitamin B3. And his last paper, written shortly before his death, was distributed posthumously.
In his second communication to AA physicians, Bill Wilson reported that about 70 percent of alcoholics who took niacin (vitamin B3) found that they felt much better: “Evidence has mounted that many of this group reporting recoveries from depression, anxiety, tension, etc., are actually hypoglycemics, people in whom B3 is, to a considerable degree, preventing the abnormal drop of blood sugar which is characteristic of that malady.”
