At regular meetings, there are usually two forms of sharing. Second, smaller parts of personal recovery stories are shared after the main speaker. Every CoDA member has an opportunity to share at every meeting. Much sharing is done in casual gatherings after meetings, CoDA birthdays, picnics, and other social events. A sponsor is there to hear your story when you are new in the program, and to hear your recovery story as it develops.
Much sharing is done with a sponsor.
This relationship provides for the sponsoree's needs for guidance, safety, and trust. This relationship is a good place to learn about personal boundaries since each sponsoree will experience the boundary setting behavior of their sponsors.
