What is a sponsor?

Sponsors are OA members who are living the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions to the best of their ability. They are willing to share their recovery with other members of the Fellowship and are committed to abstinence. Ask a member who has what you want from the program and how he or she is achieving it. A member may work with more than one sponsor and may change sponsors at will (adapted from Tools of Recovery). A sponsor will work with you through the Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous.
