It might as well have been written in Chinese the first time I read it. It just didn't register. Of course I don't read very well so it could have been me.
The second or third time it was a "Hmmmmm" This thing kind of makes sense.
After that it was a "Woah" when I picked it up and looked at it.
There's some stuff in there that'll blow you away.
When I first got to AA I was handed a book and I was told that my story is in there somewhere. I was looking in the back for the story that was like mine.
Some were close and some weren't.
After I was actually able to grasp the concept I found my story was within the first 164 almost to the letter.
In fact, it's kind of spooky.
