This is an anecdote. This is my imaginary uncle's "life story". If he existed, these would be "real hard facts".
But if I believed in that reasoning, I'd be an idiot. This is the kind of reasoning you are trying to use with me.
my story clearly shows what happened to me not your uncle, not anyone else but me, dont confuse my story with anyone else, and we are not talking about smoking or anything else other than booze and its effects on me in my story
the cost to the tax payer was huge and you can bet there glad i am in aa and not costing the tax payer anything these days
so how on earth did this amazing thing happen to me ?
simple i tried out aa and it works how much more proof would you need ?
its not me who isnt listening my friend
