Hi - I'm new to Alanon - Sponsor Question
Permalink  

My husband and I have attended two meetings.  Nothing has been said about sponsors.  Are they just for AA?   Life is so chaotic that I have difficulty being consistent with anything.  I think a sponsor could keep me on track to work the steps.
Do you have to ask for a sponsor or is this help offered after attendance at a number of meetings?

Hi PaGenie and Dave Harm, yes that s how I understand it. Remembering
also that these groups are non professional. So your sponsor is just there to
share his/her experience with you. They can't be responsible for you and they
may not always get everything right either. In other words its an adult
working partnershop/friendship something like that,
