THE TAKE 12 RECOVERY RADIO SHOW
Topic: Do We Really Need a Sponsor
The question has been asked: If you have a Big Book and you can read, why would you need a sponsor?
"Any A.A. who has not experienced the joys and satisfaction of helping another alcoholic regain his place in life has not yet fully realized the complete benefits of this fellowship." (A.A. Sponsorship Pamphlet.)
Question: What does the A.A. Big Book reference 123 times in the first 88 pages?
Answer: Alcoholics working with other alcoholics. This specifically means two alcoholics working together, putting the A.A. Program into action.
Some members call this sponsorship, being a spiritual advisor, a mentor, a trusted friend. Whatever you choose to call one alcoholic or one addict helping another walk through the Twelve Step process, one thing is for sure, we need each other, and it is irresponsible of us to think any newcomer can walk through this process alone. Tune into this show as we discuss the question, “Are Sponsors really needed?”
