To be a good sponsor, one must have been at one time a good sponsor or at the very least, have worked thoroughly the program or tried their best to work the program and at least understand what the program is.
Imagine starting your day with a hearty breakfast and a deep dive into the world of addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Breakfast with an Alcoholic', host Randall sits down with Tommy, his sponsor and a self-proclaimed Big Book Thumper. Over coffee and eggs, they chat about the crucial role a sponsor plays in the journey to sobriety. Tommy, who has been guiding people through recovery for years, shares his unique approach to working through the Big Book.
He believes in reading it aloud, stopping frequently to highlight and discuss key passages. This method, he says, has saved many lives, including Randall's. Tommy's old-school approach isn't just about reading; it's about understanding and internalizing the steps to recovery. He talks about the importance of having worked the program yourself before guiding others and how sharing progress builds accountability and community. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is.
It's not just about the Big Book; it's about the human connections that make recovery possible.
