Our stories disclose in a general way, what we were like (what we were like and how drinking seemed to make us feel complete), what happened (how we were fortunate enough to find Alcoholics Anonymous, how we learned what alcoholism is what we did to survive) and what we are like now (having adopted the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as our guide for living, what life is like with a well defined purpose for living and the freedom we have been granted.) The prospect now has the facts and can make a decision to either follow the Path or return to their best efforts.
