A sponsor is like a great driving instructor. Having already learned to drive the road to sobriety years ago, a sponsor helps you figure out all the buttons and switches on the car, navigate the highway signs, safely move away from accidents, encourages maintenance and self-control.
Imagine you're learning to drive on a tricky road. Wouldn't it be easier with someone experienced guiding you? That's what a sponsor does in your sobriety journey. In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya dive into the crucial role of a sponsor. They share their personal stories and offer practical tips on picking the right person to help you navigate the ups and downs of recovery.
They emphasize finding someone with more clean time than you, who shares your gender, and embodies the traits you admire. It's also essential that your sponsor has the time and commitment to support you regularly. Jerry and Tanya discuss the importance of face-to-face meetings and how these interactions can make a big difference in your progress. They also tackle the tough topic of when a sponsor-sponsee relationship isn't working and how to know when it's time to move on.
This episode is packed with insights that can help you make informed decisions about your recovery journey. If you're seeking guidance on choosing a sponsor, tune in to 'Sober on Purpose' for some heartfelt advice.
