Article 1 – “How do you best use your sponsor?” R5 Intergroup Writing Series

When I first came into program, I called my sponsor every morning, Monday – Friday at the same time. It was an important step in establishing discipline and helping me fulfill my commitments, something I never did before program. We worked the Steps together, quickly, as it states in the Big Book. I also committed my food to my sponsor in the morning before I put anything in my mouth. If there was a change to my food plan, I texted her before I ate. I committed to her that I would not put anything in my mouth without telling her first. It worked! Establishing that discipline, making good on my commitments, working the Steps, and being honest about what I was eating had a miraculous impact on my life.
