Alcoholics Anonymous began with sponsorship.
When Bill W., only a few months sober,
was stricken with a powerful urge to drink, this
thought came to him: “You need another alcoholic
to talk to. You need another alcoholic just as much
as he needs you!”
He found Dr. Bob, who had been trying desperately
and unsuccessfully to stop drinking, and out
of their common need A.A. was born. The word
“sponsor” was not used then; the Twelve Steps had
not been written; but Bill carried the message to
Dr. Bob, who in turn safeguarded his own sobriety
by sponsoring countless other alcoholics. Through
sharing, both of our co-founders discovered, their
own sober lives could be enriched beyond measure.
What does A.A. mean by sponsorship? To join
some organizations, you must have a sponsor —
a person who vouches for you, presents you as
being suitable for membership. This is definitely
not the case with A.A. Anyone who has a desire to
stop drinking is welcome to join us!
