The recovery tip today is the topic: a secondary stand-in sponsor is OK. To navigate you in early sobriety and to teach you the 'ins and outs' of good recovery habits, be sure to call before that first drink or drug. Be sure to go to the same meetings as your permanent or temporary sponsor. And put him or her on your speed dial. Once-again, don't confuse a support team, buddies from rehab, with sponsorship. You can have a main sponsor and a temporary sponsor. You can have a spiritual sponsor. You can have a Big Book sponsor. You can have an accountability sponsor. But do have your main sponsor.
