It's actually probably the first relationship in which I've learned how to behave and communicate in an appropriate way in a trustful, safe place, and that's where I start to learn how to stop being so negative in my relationships and sabotaging and manipulative and all sorts of things, and just being brutally honest and trusting the process and learning that it's going to be okay and that things are fine when you communicate well in a relationship.
Ever found yourself wondering how to get started with a sponsor in your recovery journey? Karen, the seasoned host of the 'Sober Moments Podcast', breaks down the concept of a temporary sponsor in this episode. She shares her personal experiences and practical advice on why a temporary sponsor can be a game-changer for newcomers in addiction recovery. Karen knows that approaching a stranger to be your sponsor can feel intimidating. That's where a temporary sponsor comes in handy.
Think of it as a stepping stone, someone who offers immediate support and guidance without the pressure of a long-term commitment. Karen emphasizes that the relationship between a sponsor and a sponsee is built on trust and mutual respect. A temporary sponsor helps you navigate the early stages of recovery, answer pressing questions, and guide you through the initial steps of the 12-step program.
The beauty of a temporary sponsor is that it can evolve into a long-term relationship if both parties feel comfortable. Karen encourages listeners to take that first step and reach out to someone offering their services at meetings. While it might feel nerve-wracking, the benefits of having someone to talk to and lean on during those crucial early days are immense.
This episode is packed with Karen's heartfelt advice and relatable anecdotes, making it an invaluable resource for anyone new to recovery. Tune in to learn more about how a temporary sponsor can provide the support you need to start your journey on the right foot.
