โœฆ Synopsis

Storytelling is an extremely common activity in the spiritually-based mutual help organization Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). This paper describes the typical content, function(s), and structure of five types of A.A. stories, devoting particular attention to the interplay between the A.A. community narrative and the life stories of individual members. The information
