your question got me a thinking about my sponsor
he has been sober for well over 20 years
and
his sponsor died years back and he has not one today
but
he works with many others and he will say often
thanks for helping me to stay sober today
anyway
for most
having a sponsor is a good idea
in our church we also have an Elder over us (wife and I)
this also can be of much benefit
these men are full of wisdom
