Carry the message to others seeking recovery
PIR®'s 12-Step Committee wrote and published a book that unpacks PIR®'s 12 recovery Steps. PIR® is diverse: we are people who suffer from addiction, compulsion, codependency, over-functioning, rescuing—different outsides, similar insides. We wrote these steps for anyone tired of cycles that cost integrity, peace, or a sense of self.

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®. Inside: 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.

About Us
The 12-Step Committee is a trusted servant committee within the PIR® service structure dedicated to writing a recovery program specifically for the diverse fellowship of PIR®. Our committee has worked diligently to understand PIR®'s various backgrounds of addictive or co-addictive patterns. Our job has been to listen carefully, write clearly, and keep returning to the basics—humility, honesty, willingness, amends, prayer/meditation, and service—while making the path more usable for people who want an alternative to traditional steps.
Mission Statement
The 12-Step Committee serves members of the PIR® fellowship who want to address their addictive and other problematic behaviors and who feel more at home in PIR® than in other fellowships for which they may otherwise qualify—through the Twelve Steps, our fellowship's literature, and service.
