Sponsor Support Call Series

The WSI 12th Step Committee is hosting a new Sponsor Support Call Series beginning in the new year. This series will provide a place for seasoned sponsors to share their experience, strength, and hope focused on sponsorship. The monthly topics will follow, in order, the new FA approved pamphlet Some Thoughts on Sponsoring. The format will be one hour on the 3rd Sunday of the month and similar to the Traveling Abstinently Forum.

* These calls are not instruction, direction, or guidance on how to sponsor.

* Always bring questions, discussion, and decisions back to your sponsor for guidance.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
