👫 What is a Sponsor? 💪
Benediction/Blessing of the Incredible, Selfless Sponsors of AA-- Since 1939!
"As you have been fed, go to feed the hungry.🍇
As you have been set free, go to set free the imprisoned.⏳
As you have been received--give.👞
As you have heard--proclaim. 📢
And the blessing which you have received from the Creator,🌏
Christ, and Holy Spirit be always with you."
Amen.

Understanding Sponsorship
We've walked, ran, stumbled, floundered--suspended in our own prisons of frozen incapability, and some of us have even crawled at the very lowest points of our lives, reaching out vaguely, blindly, or in desperation. We, better than anyone else, understand the profound impact a sponsor can have on your individual travel plans to and through Recoveryville (aka, "Shiloh!"; "Paradise!"; " Utopia!"). Our aim is to provide clear, supportive information for those seeking to understand this vital relationship within Alcoholics Anonymous.
"Hooking up" with the Right Sponsor makes all the difference in the world.
And we can all use more good friends, Amen?
