great answers above.

pray, but please don't worry about your sponsee, it will drain your brain

this can show you why its said that working with others ensures our own sobriety. as you take a newcomer through the process of step one, there is an opportunity for you to deepen your own understanding of where you are in that step.

and so on, as it goes along the other steps.

when we have a newcomer/sponsee who balks, bolts, disappears, the feelings of sadness for them also deepen in us the feelings of gratitude for the sobriety we've been given. and to cherish it
