I realize they can't stay in prison for ever, but I know that AA/NA knows he's a registered sex offender. How can they allow him to be a sponsor???? My son still attends AA meetings as required by rehab he's in. He really likes another program better: refuge recovery. Check it out 😇
AA doesn't allocate sponsors. Members approach someone and ask them to be their sponsor. So, your son would have asked him to be his sponsor. You can change sponsors any time you like.
