sponsee

A person admitted to the UK as a sponsee regardless of her/his length of stay.

A sponsor is a more experienced person in recovery who guides the less-experienced aspirant ("sponsee") through the program.

The personal nature of the behavioral issues that lead to seeking help in twelve-step fellowships results in a strong relationship between sponsee and sponsor.

A sponsor provides guidance through the OA program and support where necessary, but gradually encourages autonomy in the sponsee.

My new sponsee continued to call, and as I reworked the Steps I found many things I could share.

Members work with a sponsor who is also a member of S.L.A.A. who guides the sponsee (member) through the Twelve Steps of recovery.

Fundamentally, the sponsor has the single purpose of helping the sponsee recover from the behavioral problem that brought the sufferer into twelve-step work, which reflexively helps the sponsor recover.

In the play — written by Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by the Tony Award winner Anna Shapiro — Mr. Rock plays Ralph D. , an irresponsible 12-step sponsor dodging his own demons by toying with those of his sponsee.

A study of sponsorship as practiced in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous found that providing direction and support to other alcoholics and addicts is associated with sustained abstinence for the sponsor, but suggested that there were few short-term benefits for the sponsee's one-year sustained abstinence rate.
