Addiction is a complex disease you shouldn’t have to fight alone. When you struggle with addiction your entire perspective changes. Your mind and body are fixated on using—despite the serious health and social consequences.
When you’re ready to begin your journey toward recovery, your counselor will ask you to select a sponsor. A sponsor is a mentor or guide who’s been there and understands exactly what you’re going through. They’ve been through the recovery program, worked through the steps and no longer feel the compulsion to use drugs or alcohol.
A sponsor provides crucial support and a background of experience to guide you through recovery. They’ll walk alongside you as you actively work to stay sober. While sponsors are vital during the early and middle stages of recovery, they are available to you throughout your entire recovery program.
