The Role of Sponsor Card Deck

The Questions Every New Sponsor Asks:

“Am I supposed to be their therapist?” “What if they relapse – is that my fault?” “How available should I be?” “What’s the difference between helping and enabling?” “Am I qualified to guide someone else’s recovery?”

Sound familiar? These uncertainties aren’t just common – they’re universal. And they can make new sponsors either overly controlling or completely hands-off, neither of which serves recovery well.

What If You Had Clear Guidance?

Each card addresses one specific aspect of sponsorship – from setting healthy boundaries to understanding your role in someone else’s recovery journey.

No more guessing. No more anxiety about doing it “wrong.” Just clear guidance rooted in 12-Step principles.
