"There were alcoholics in the hospitals of whom A.A. could touch and help
only about five percent. The doctors started giving them a dose of LSD, so
that the resistance would be broken down. And they had about fifteen percent
recoveries." Nell Wing - Pass It On p 370




Australian survey, 1992,

(AA Around Australia. Spring Edition No 90. October 1994)
"A well conducted professional study," (page19) that showed "some 5% of
newcomers are still attending meetings after 12 months. This is a truly
terrible statistic". (page 2)
