Alcoholics Anomynous

Alcoholics Anonymous was started June 10, 1935 by Bill W. and Dr. Bob. both men were alcoholics themselves. From very humble beginnings it is a huge International Movement and very well known name even outside people interested in alcoholism and addiction.
The Twelve Step programs evolved from the original AA.
I am posting this video I found of Dr. Abram Hoffer, a still practicing orthomolecular psychiatrist who found the use of the B vitamin niacin very successful in the field of schizophrenia.
Dr. Hoffer obviously knew Bill W. quite well and admired him very much.
This particular interview has to do with Hoffer and Bill W. using niacin within AA and the results.
