Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Sponsors keep the program alive
The founders of Alcoholics Anonymous understood the importance of telling other people how they had overcome the struggles and multiplied the successes in their lives. Sponsorship is a key element in every Twelve Step program. Every one of us reading these words has a part to play.
Sharing our experiences with newcomers or old-timers is equally valuable. None of us has the perfect program. We are always learning and relearning to use the tools that promise saner living. Every time we answer a call for help or offer ourselves as a sounding board to a friend in pain, we’ll have an opportunity to strengthen our program.
The program continues to thrive because individuals keep talking to each other and seeking from one another the wisdom that can make each new day more serene.
I will have an opportunity to help someone today. God sees to that every day. I pray for the willingness to do my part.
Hazelden Foundation
