                                BEING A TEMPORARY SPONSOR From Anonymous

                                You might reflect on your first meeting.    Who was there to greet you when you walked in?    Who answered some of your questions, or introduced you to someone who could?   Do you have some quality recovery?  Consider a service role as "temporary sponsor", which can help you get used to sponsorship, perhaps becoming one when you're ready

                                What a Temporary sponsors Does:

                                Help the newcomer get oriented
                                Tell about 12-Step program literature & recovery tools
                                Help a beginner get started in studying and working the steps.
                                Can act as a program buddy, by providing some accountability
                                Help answer that large list of questions almost everyone has at first
                                Help point a newcomer in the right direction in starting their own recovery program
                                Provide encouragement and support until the newcomer finds a permanent sponsor.

                                                                                          By helping others, we help ourselves
