8 And it came to pass that I was three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul; and never, until I did cry out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, did I receive a remission of my sins. But behold, I did cry unto him and I did find peace to my soul.
Bill Wilson, founder of AA, had a similar experience. He was given belladonna and left his relm and experienced the same as Alma. See the book: The Power of Habit; Why we do what we do in life or business.
