Product Description
Passing it on is a key concept in the Twelve Step community and many of the traditions and knowledge of the Twelve Step recovery program have been passed down by word-of-mouth from one generation of sponsors to the next. Twelve Step Sponsorship effectively takes this knowledge and tradition and applies it to a working manual for sponsors, guiding them through their role in reaching out and helping new program members. Designed as a "how-to" program for sponsors, Twelve Step Sponsorship offers:
- reading assignments
- common questions that sponsors face
- procedural suggestions for leading a newcomer through the Twelve Steps
- general guidelines for becoming an effective sponsor
Twelve Step Sponsorship offers sponsors the first complete handbook for working with a newcomer -- from the first meeting through the Twelfth Step and into the years that follow.

Good 12 Step Material
I haven't finished with the book yet, but after about 12 years of sobriety, I am finding much helpful information to help me with sponsoring newcomers and my sponsees who already have a number of years in the program. Great material!

Guide for Sponsors ( dinahw )
This is an excellent resource for sponsors. Even someone with a number of years of sobriety can learn a lot about how to best work with a new sponsee. It also helps in working the steps yourself!alcoholi

Intuitive, Simple and to the Point!
If you honestly want to be set free from the addiction of alcohol this book is an excellent resource. It simply teaches both the sponsor and the sponsee how to apply the proven 12 step process as a way to enter into recovery. With God's help and this book you are free!

Great resource book! ( bessie230 )
First let me say - I have read this book and think it is excellent. It is helpful to me as a sponsor and as a sponsee. The first part talks about what sponsorship is about and also what it isn't. The first half of the book is for someone looking for a sponsor and what they should look for. The second half of the book is for Sponsors and has some good guidelines for being a sponsor culled from the experience and wisdom of numerous people besides just the author. I was a little skeptical at first because it is not AA literature, but it is a Hazledon book which is acceptable. Being a sponsor in AA is not a professional role, so having a book like this can be helpful because what most people know about being a sponsor they learned from their sponsor. As AA as a community continues to evolve and grow, and old timers die, it's good to have additional wisdom for guidance. This is just my opinion, I do not speak for AA.
