I am looking for ideas on what others think about being a sponsor. It would be good to collect some of your thoughts and interests on putting together some Zoom working sessions for those who want to sponsor but are unsure when or how to begin.
Do you know the qualities of being a sponsor?
What is the primary role of a sponsor?
When sponsoring a sponsee, who should take the initiative to begin the step work? Sponsor or Sponsee Explain?
Does a recovery addict need more than a sponsor? Y/N If so, who are they?
How long into recovery do you feel someone should be in their 12-step program before they begin to sponsor someone?
After step 1? Step 3? Step 4? Step 5? Step 9?
Do you think a plan is needed when working the 12 steps?
That contains, at minimum, the following basic outline:
Books being used (Big Blue, SA White, etc.)
Meeting day(s) time(s)
Review of the previous week
Go over the current lesson
Questions
The sponsor shared their experience when they completed that step. Notes any discoveries found worth journaling.
