People in recovery tell new people they need to get a sponsor and give many good reasons why they need one. But they don't always tell folks what to look for in a sponsor or how to find one. People who are successful enough in their recovery may be ready to become sponsors but may not know what to do. The advice they receive may be spotty at best. This book distills more than four decades of the author's experience as a recovery sponsor and mentor to help answer these questions: Why do I need a sponsor?How do I find a sponsor?When the time comes, how do I become a good sponsor?May this book make each reader's recovery from addiction easier as you continue on your journey to wholeness.

Relapse is the "cardinal sin" in many addiction recovery programs, despite the fact that most people will relapse at least once, and many more than once. Good news...relapses are preventable. Avoiding Relapse examines the red flags that indicate we are in danger of a relapse, the triggers that set it off, and the healthy relationships that can not only prevent relapse but move us from recovery to complete freedom from addiction. The author. a retired prison chaplain, has been sober and clean without relapse since December 31st, 1979, and personally and professionally engaged in addiction recovery ever since.
