  • Sponsorship - Q & A

    n this episode of Sober Readings, we explore one of the most important relationships in Alcoholics Anonymous: sponsorship. Through readings from AA literature, we look at what it means to have a sponsor, what it means to be a sponsor, and why one alcoholic helping another remains at the heart of the AA program.

    A sponsor isn't there to run our lives or make our decisions for us. Instead, they share their own experience, strength, and hope and help guide us through the Twelve Steps and the challenges that come with living sober. Sponsorship reminds us that recovery was never meant to be traveled alone—and that sometimes the best way to strengthen our own sobriety is by helping someone else strengthen theirs.

    Whether you're looking for a sponsor, already working with one, or have reached the point where you're able to sponsor someone else, I hope today's readings offer something you can carry with you.

    Just for today: Don't drink. Go to a meeting. Keep coming back.
