AA Thought for the Day
September 23, 2007
Sponsors
An AA sponsor is not a professional caseworker or counselor of any sort.
A sponsor is not someone to borrow money from,
nor get clothes, jobs, or food from.
A sponsor is not a medical expert, nor qualified to give religious,
legal, domestic, or psychiatric advice, although a good sponsor
is usually willing to discuss such matters confidentially,
and often can suggest where the appropriate professional assistance
can be obtained.
A sponsor is simply a sober alcoholic who can help solve only one problem:
how to stay sober.
Thought to Ponder....
Don't look for a sponsor, listen for one.
