One of the most common forms of rehabilitation for residents of New Brunswick is Alcoholics Anonymous. Alcoholics Anonymous is a worldwide program who is committed to helping alcoholics conquer their addiction and become productive members of New Brunswick’s society.

Since Alcoholics Anonymous relies on donations for funding, there are now dues or membership fees making it possible for addicts of all economic ranges to participate. The program is no affiliated with a religious group, businesses, organizations, or universities, it is completely independent. The program relies on a twelve-step program to help addicts. The program approaches an addiction to alcohol as if it a mental illness and not a weak character.

Most people are very familiar with the idea of the twelve-step program that Alcoholics Anonymous is famous for. Variations of the program are used in alcohol rehabilitation programs all over New Brunswick. What people are less familiar with is the concept of sponsors.

Some people feel that it is the Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor program rather than its twelve-step plan that has turned the group into such a success. A good sponsor can go a long way towards making sure that the addict never reaches for a drink again. They offer support and counsel whenever the addict needs them. For many, the sponsor becomes a lifelong friend that they could not imagine life without.

One of the things that make the sponsorship program so good is that the sponsor is also a recovering alcoholic. Granted they have usually been sober for a longer period of time, but they can still remember going through the same things that the person they are sponsoring went through, this firsthand knowledge usually makes their advice easier to take than when the same advice comes from a counselor who has never struggled with any type of addiction.

The addict who is being sponsored cannot take advantage of their sponsor. This means that they have to treat the person with respect. Even if the addict doesn’t like what the sponsor is counseling they should listen to what they are saying. The only time the addict should ever call their sponsor in the middle of the night is when the urge to reach for a drink is unbearable.

If the chapter of AA a person is using is set up that the addict chooses their own sponsor, there are some things the addict should keep in mind. You want to choose a sponsor who not only has been around for a while but who has also been sober for quite some time. You also should try to choose a sponsor who has a similar lifestyle and personality to your own. The more the two of you have in common the better.

At some point, the person who is being sponsored will be asked to sponsor someone. When this happens they need to think about what advice worked for them and what things they like about their sponsorship experience. They should then try to do everything they can to be an even better sponsor.
