Recovery isn't meant to be a solo journey—we explore the critical role of sponsorship in AA and why reaching out when you're struggling isn't bothering someone but giving them purpose.
• The official birth of AA wasn't when Bill W got sober, but when he shared his story with Dr Bob across a kitchen table
• Sponsorship isn't explicitly mentioned in the first 164 pages because the book itself was designed to be the sponsor for those who found it
• When you don't call your sponsor during struggles, you're actually being selfish by denying them the opportunity to be of service
• After completing the 12 steps, the relationship evolves from sponsorship to brotherhood—we don't stay sober alone, we stay sober in a committee
• If you don't like your current sponsor, it's okay to find someone new, but make sure it's not just because they're holding you accountable
• How free do you want to be? Don't stew in your own thoughts—reach out and talk to someone before problems compound
