Sponsors Sponsors are DRA members who are clean and sober and have practical experience living the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions to the best of their ability. They are willing to share their recovery experience with other members of the Fellowship and are committed to dual recovery. Sponsors can help guide us around some of the common stumbling blocks of early recovery and give us their perspective on working the Steps and other recovery issues. Sponsors are someone you trust and respect in the Fellowship who has experience and can often help to see a new solution to problems that could not be seen previously. By working with other members of DRA and sharing their experience, strength and hope, sponsors continually renew and reaffirm their own recovery.
Sponsors share their program up to the level of their own experience.
They do not demand that other's work the Steps or program exactly the same way they do. Instead they help us find our own solutions and develop our own personal plan for recovery by sharing their experience.
