" I WAS AN EXCEPTION"
He [Bill W.] said to me, gently and simply, "Do you think that you are one of us?"
A.A., p. 413
During my drinking life I was convinced I was an exception. I thought I was beyond petty requirements and had the right to be excused. I never realized that the dark counterbalance of my attitude was the constant feeling that I did not "belong." At first, A.A., I identified with others only as an alcoholic. What a wonderful awakening for me it has been realizes that, if human beings were doing the best they could, then so was I! All of the pains, confusions and joys they feel are not exceptional, but part of my life, just as much as anybody's.
