Folklore Includes bibliographical references (leaves109-112) This thesis explores the personal experience narratives of nine recovering alcoholics through the lens of folktale scholarship. Using Propp's structuralist model developed for folktales, I analyze several narratives and examine the role of the helper in both the Märchen and the turning-point personal experience narrative. I explore the role Alcoholics Anonymous plays in the recovery of its members and the use of the personal experience narrative as therapy and a catalyst for healing.
