Heard in a Sponsorship Workshop
- Doing Al-Anon without a sponsor is like going to the swimming pool and watching other people swim.
- Sponsorship is not a lifetime commitment. Letting go is not a sign of failure
- The sponsor holds the flashlight while the sponsee does the digging.
- I give spiritual consent to my sponsor, so if s/he suggests something, I will do it.
- When my sponsee calls, it is like free money.
- Anonymity: I do not share who my sponsor is, because that would set them on a pedestal.
- Having multiple sponsees helps keep the sponsor from obsessing on one of them.
