Utilizing a sponsor relationship can help tremendously, to not feel alone, in recovery. This relationship, hopefully, will allow you to see that there is more for you in recovery in the future.

To pick a sponsor, ask someone when they think would be a good time to talk about this, and if you mutually agree, this would be your sponsor. Your sponsor is someone you will call regularly and talk to about recovery issues, boundaries, and relapses. He will be someone who will encourage you to do your step work and help hold you accountable to goals you have set for yourself in recovery.
