In our sponsorship family:

• We pray a prayer first thing when we wake up each morning. Examples from the Bible can be found here or a prayer from the big book can be used.
• We think through and meditate upon our prayers and ask God to guide us throughout the day.
• We send a text to our sponsor to let them know that we have prayed our prayer, describe any near-misses, whether or not we have relapsed, whether we will be attending a meeting today and whether we need to talk.
• We pick up another white chip for every relapse. Some of us have a shoebox of white chips before hitting substantial sobriety.
• We value our sponsors' time and make every effort to attend sessions to work the steps.
• We work the steps exactly as described in the big book including reading it together, meeting in person, and attending meetings.
