Easy Does It - FEBRUARY 28 - SPONSORSHIP
Sponsors: Have one, use one, be one. -Anonymous
Before we were in the Program very long, it was suggested we find a sponsor. We found an individual who had the kind of recovery we wanted. The purpose of finding a sponsor was to have someone who would guide us through the 12 Steps and help us apply the Steps to problems we encountered.
Sponsorship is one of the important ways of carrying the message. Sponsors share their experience of working the Program freely. They do not nag or manage our lives. At times, sponsors may appear to be very strict, but they're only trying to pass on their knowledge. They have a deep concern about our recovery.
The first thing my sponsor said to me was, "Get a check-up from the neck up. " I followed the advice. I am grateful for all the help my sponsor has given me.
