For most of us, it is a relationship with a romantic partner that provides our primary source of the close bonds we need to thrive. But can you have a successful intimate relationship while in recovery?

Navigating your way through an intimate relationship is challenging enough, but when you add to that the unique challenges faced during recovery, the task can be daunting. A recovering addict often brings additional baggage to a relationship because, for them, many essential relationships tools are yet to be acquired. Today, we talk about relationships.

What is first to mind?
What do you want to talk about first?

Early in program, did you have any romantic relationships?
What was dating like?

How did your relationship change over the course of more clean time?

What relationships did you have to give up because of recovery?

How about your relationship with a higher power, how has that changed because of recovery?

What about relationship with self?

How did recovery change your relationships?

How does trust affect you relationships?
How about honesty?
How do old wounds from before recovery affect your current relationship?

How do coping skills learned in recovery help your current relationships?

Talk about balance and relationships, work, recovery, relationship.
How does this change over time?

What step helps you in maintaining relationships?

What would you say to the new guy?

We have calls

In my addictive behavior, I probably broke trust with those who care about me in various ways, such as lying and keeping secrets. Since my addiction spanned many years, the people affected by my addiction doubted my recovery, especially since I tried to control my addiction before. Building trust takes time; I have to continue to prove that I can do this one day at a time.

First to mind?

Where do you want to start?

What does trust mean to you?

How do your disease affect your trustworthiness?

How did your disease affect your ability to trust others?

How has your disease affected your ability to trust yourself?

Before program, how did you lose the trust of your loved ones?

How about employers?

Friends?

In what ways did you lose trust?

When you were new, did you trust the program?

Did you trust ither AAs

Did you trust your sponsor?

How about today?

What was it like when you first came in, were you able to regain trust immediately?

Did you think that you should be trusted because you are now sober?

How did that make you feel?  

What part of the program helped you regain trust?

When did you start to regain trust?  example?

Are there people in your life who refuse to trust you?  

What do you do with these people?

How about your trust of other people?  How has recovery effected this?

Do you trust God?

Do you trust yourself?

What would you say to the new guy?

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!

What was your understanding of a sponsor when you were new?

How did this understanding evolve?

When did you first become a sponsor?

What were your concerns and fears?

How does sponsorship help the sponsor?

Can any member be a sponsor?

When is a member ready for

sponsorship responsibility?

What does a sponsor do and not do?

Is there any one best way of

sponsoring a newcomer?

How can a sponsor explain

the A.A. program?

Should a sponsor recommend

hospitalization?

How can a sponsor work with

an alcoholic’s family?

Should a sponsor lend money

to a newcomer?

Should a sponsor intercede

with an employer?

Can a sponsor be too firm?

Can a sponsor

be overprotective?

Can a sponsor be too casual?

How can a sponsor handle an

overdependent newcomer?

How can a sponsor work with

a newcomer who rejects help?

When newcomers resist

“the spiritual side” of the program,

what can sponsors do?

How should a sponsor deal with slips?

Can a member sponsor more than

one newcomer simultaneously?
