The relationship between a sponsor and sponsee is a two-way street. It's about helping each other and giving back. You never know, your sponsee might just end up helping you too.
What happens when you’re told to 'get a sponsor and work the steps'? For many, it’s like being thrown a life preserver in deep water. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg chat with a guest who shares her journey through the ups and downs of sobriety, all with the guidance of her Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) sponsor.
The guest opens up about her initial confusion in finding a sponsor and how she eventually found someone who made a significant impact on her recovery. They discuss the different roles a sponsor can play—whether as a friend, mentor, or even a tough-love coach—and how these relationships can help overcome fear and shame tied to addiction.
The episode dives into the practical aspects of choosing a sponsor, building a meaningful relationship, and the importance of having someone experienced to guide you through the AA program. But it’s not just about receiving help; giving back plays a crucial role too. The guest talks about how helping others in the program has been a cornerstone of her own recovery.
Throughout the conversation, the power of storytelling is highlighted as a tool for healing and connecting with others on similar journeys. Whether you’re new to recovery or have been on the path for years, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that remind us all that we’re not alone in our struggles. Tune in to hear about the real-life challenges and triumphs of navigating recovery with an AA sponsor.
