	The Art of Sponsorship: beyond the basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		If a sponsee says something that reminds us of ourselves, we may decide to mention it as a way to share our "experience, strength, and hope," but the basic focus of the conversation must be on the sponsee, not on us.
		Listening to our sponsee with such an attitude does not mean that we approve of everything he or she has said or done, or that we respect the prudence of every decision he or she has made.
		When a sponsee has been rambling on to no apparent purpose, we might ask a question (for example, "What is the essence of what you're trying to say?") that helps him or her to find the focus.

	Working The Steps - Step Five
		Help your sponsee choose an appropriate place and time for doing the 5th, keeping in mind the importance of finding a place where interruptions and distractions will be minimal and that it is conducive to lessening anxiety.
		Establish that the sponsee has already gone through their 4th in an effort to admit to themselves and to their Higher Power those things they are getting ready to discuss with you.
		If your sponsee seems stuck on a particular issue because of their shame or guilt, then it is sometimes helpful to share one of your own most terrible secrets.

	When 2 Step Back
		It is frustrating when you have a sponsee that always wants to do it their way and is not willing to take suggestions.
		It is OK to tell a sponsee that you feel they are not taking your suggestions, and maybe it would time for them to find a new sponsor.
		If a sponsee is trying to play games, or manipulate you, it is OK to call their bluff and let them that you know.

	Monty-man's Meditorial
		The are few folks in recovery that have long distance sponsors and sponsee’s, however If you would do the math you would find that they have been around the program and clean and sober for quite a few years.
		I am not one of those people that claims that sponsee’s can't become best friends with their sponsor, but that works because they are growing together closely after a long time of working the program with each other.
		The main job of a sponsor is to be able to teach the sponsee how to apply and implement the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions in their daily life.

	SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information - View Single Post - Procrastinating Sponsee
		Every sponsee is different, and every one of us has a different "style" of sponsoring.
		It's a program of attraction, which means all you have to do is be an example of how the program works and then show her how you work your program.
		I have a sponsee who is 30 years older than me and I have no problem riding his derriere every single day.

	SPONSOR-SPONSEE-TALK
		This support group for sponsors and sponsees is a part of this important program.
		A sponsee with an issue can also learn various ways of dealing with problems that may arise in the sponsor-sponsee relationship by sharing with others.
		At that point, discussion becomes centered on the sponsor workshop itself and many times a lively discussion led by a facilitator ensues and as a result sponsors become better ones and sponsees learn more about sponsors and often become one themselves.

		This means being available when called upon at any time needed and standing by the sponsee in his/her process of releasing body-mind identification, and his fixation to this conditioned, false concept as being self.
		An AHAM Sponsor is someone who can be trusted by the sponsee to share life experiences with – both good and bad; someone he can go to with personal problems thought to be too personal or delicate to openly share with the AHAM group.
		This means the strong and steady support for one and all to live in alignment with true enlightenment, and it being lived as everyone's natural state.

	How To Work with Others In 12 Step Recovery
		It has been a rewarding pleasure that has filled my heart and soul with gratitude and joy over the past years to work with and alongside the newcomer, sponsee’s, sponsors, bleeding deacons, elder statesmen and the old-timers of Alcoholics Anonymous.
		This book is compiled from the knowledge of the Big Book of AA and the members of the fellowship that have completed the steps and the hard lessons of the ones who have not or never will.
		When a member is not ready to understand or receive information they have been given, it can be discounted or discarded as not being effective as a solution to the problem they face.

	And Now, A Word from our Sponsor - by Mark Elliot
		This is a relationship where the sponsee is attracted to the sponsor by some special quality about the person.
		But there is a "commonality" between sponsor and sponsee that makes the relationship more a meeting of equals.
		The reason is amazingly simple: The sponsee has trouble focussing on the moment, let alone the real problems he or she is facing.

	Opiate Detox Recovery
		A sponsor should, in most cases, be of the same sex as their sponsee.
		Sponsors may require that a sponsee takes a commitment(s) at meetings and is of service.
		Sponsors can either opt to just give suggestions...or direct a sponsee's life at the beginning; wherein every decision (certainly major) is run by them.

	Sponsor: Olive Branch Outreach: Hope & Healing for Eating Disorders
		A sponsor and sponsee have an obligation to discuss their mutual expectations, objectives and requirements (if any), regarding the sponsorship relationship BEFORE they enter a relationship.
		Sponsors don't take the credit when their sponsees stay abstinent, and they don't take the blame when they binge and purge.
		Both sponsor and sponsee should agree the sponsorship match is right, which is why I recommend a trial period.

	Vegas Vortex Sponsorship

		A sponsor will take responsibility for making sure their sponsee knows about our community considerations, like taking conversations outside the circle, or not smoking in the circle, etc....

	Choosing a Sponsor - 12 Step Recovery
		Typically a sponsor is an individual of the same sex who has more sobriety than a sponsee and has completed the 12 steps of the recovery program.
		No one sponsor guides their sponsees in the same way, there are no set rules, however, they always model their suggestions to the program outlined in the big book of alcoholics anonymous.
		Some meetings will have phone lists with a section marked if they are accepting sponsees or some may have an announcement at the end of the meeting for potential sponsors to remain after to meet newcomers or members looking for a new sponsor.

	Recovery Row: Where Are We
		When I sit with a "sponsee" I want to hear him admit to his addiction.
		Sponsee's hearing me sharing with them how my addiction was for me shows them that I walked out of Hell and that I live in Recovery today.
		My sponsee's sharing with me shows me that addiction is still Hell and they now have a destination to walk towards.

	Walking The Walk
		The sponsee complained the same old complaints of being restless, irratable and discontent.
		So he read to him all the ingredients, how hot the oven was to be and when he was through his sponsor told him to read it again.
		By now the sponsee is a little upset and asks what this has to do with staying sober, with a laugh, his sponsor told him to humor him!

	The Practice of Sponsorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		One day we have a sponsee working hard on their recovery and checking in regularly; the next day they are gone without a trace.
		Anyone who comes to the task of helping others with the idea that they are important enough to be responsible for whether a sponsee will recover or relapse is in for a painful ride.
		As sponsee after sponsee goes off the radar, such sponsors are left alone in a pit of self-induced guilt.

	Stages of Sponsorship
		As the sponsee progresses through different stages of recovery, the sponsor takes on different roles.
		At no time should the sponsor "play God." From the beginning, it should be stressed that s/he cannot recover the other person, and has no magical answers.
		Note: At all stages, prayer for the sponsee, and for illumination as to how to best be of help to himlher, is one of the most important things a sponsor can do.

	"A Proven Formula" from A New Leaf
		Now in my fourth year of sobriety, I'm active as both a sponsor and a sponsee It helps me stay sober and reminds me that I need to be connected to other people on a regular and ongoing basis.
		They say that the sponsor/sponsee relationship helps the sponsor at least as much as the sponsee.
		This has certainly been the case recently with me. About five months ago I began working with a newcomer who kept in close touch.

	Schedule
		The sponsor's role is simply to guide the sponsee in recovery by sharing the tools they have been given by their own sponsor.
		This is a way that sponsors can work with sponsees who are willing to do the work of recovery.
		We suggest, though, that you ask a potential sponsor what is expected of their sponsee.

	Walking in the Way God Leads
		The sponsor is chosen because she “has what the sponsee wants”—a quality of life such as sobriety, for instance.
		Because a sponsor has more time in AA than her sponsee, she can help with the Steps and all the questions a newcomer may have.
		In so doing the sponsee is helped to realize she is not so terribly alone, unique and different.

		I detached from the circumstances, not the sponsee, but letting her know that I would be supportive, but I was limited in what I could do.
		You will be of no value to her or anyone else if you put yourself in danger.
		I hope you will accept this in the spirit it is meant, meanwhile, you and your sponsee will be in my thoughts and prayers.

	Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous - Sponsorship Pamphlet
		A sponsor ideally has solid abstinence from his/her addictive patterns and is willing to guide the sponsee through the Twelve Steps.
		A potential sexual partner as sponsor would interfere with the primary purpose of the sponsor relationship, which is recovery through the program of S.L.A.A. Sometimes this means that the sponsor and sponsee should be of the same sex: sometimes of the opposite sex.
		The frequency of contact is determined jointly by the sponsor and sponsee - as we each become familiar with our individual needs and boundaries.
