Mike S.: 34 Years Sober and the Lifesaving Role of Sponsorship in AA

AA gave me a way to live. It's about living life on life's terms, and that's some of the harm that I did.
Imagine being on the brink of relapse, feeling lost despite attending meetings. That's where Howard L. found himself until he met Mike S., who became his sponsor and turned his life around. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Howard sits down with Mike, his sponsor of 34 years, to explore the profound impact of sponsorship in Alcoholics Anonymous. Mike recounts his own path to sobriety and how having a sponsor was a game-changer for him.
He shares the wisdom passed down from his own sponsor and how he has paid it forward by sponsoring others. Their conversation touches on the highs and lows of sobriety, the spiritual awakenings through AA, and the importance of making and living amends. The episode is a heartfelt reminder of how crucial fellowship and community are in the recovery journey.
If you're struggling with alcoholism or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how sponsorship can be a lifeline.
