• Leaving External Guidance Behind: The Temporary Nature of Sponsorship
    Dec 5 2025

    In this episode, we explore why sponsorship is essential early in sobriety but cannot remain a permanent authority. Through a symbolic dream teaching and references to AA, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Buddha, we look at the shift from borrowed recovery to inner recovery.


    Topics include:

    • The moment external support must give way to inner guidance.

    • The difference between borrowed recovery and inner recovery.

    • How fear creates dependence on personalities.

    • Why AA teaches reliance on a Power found “deep down within”.

    • How to recognize when it’s time to trust your own inner compass.


    This episode invites you to return to the guidance of the innermost self — the true source of sober direction.
