First sentence: When A.A. speakers tell their stories, they ordinarily follow the triadic formula suggested in "How It Works," a passage, often read at meetings, from the fifth chapter of the Big Book: "Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now" (AA, 58).
