Well, as a newcomer, there really is no substitute for a sponsor, but sometimes it may take a while to find someone to work with. It’s also important to create a community of support, not in lieu of a sponsor, but in addition to a sponsor. Accountability Buddies and Recovery Circles are two options for growing your secular recovery community.

Accountability Buddies (for 2 people)

Recovery Circles (for 3-6 people)

Be sure to check out our recordings from the Secular Sponsor Speaker Series to hear advice for newcomers.
