Tim M: Mastering the Art of AA Sponsorship

A sponsor is not an emergency or blue light service, a taxi, a doctor, a psychiatrist, a therapist, an analyst, a nutritionist, a friend, a housing service, an employment agency, a problem solver, a troubleshooter, an untangler of knots, a soothsayer, an oracle, a judge, a moral arbiter, a citizen's advice bureau, a bank, a parent, a power source, a life coach, a motivational coach or a search engine.
