Not everyone we meet in recovery plays the same role — and knowing the difference can save your sobriety.

Today we’re breaking down three of the most misunderstood relationships in recovery: the Sponsor, the Temporary Sponsor, and the Closed-Mouthed Friend.

A Sponsor walks you through the Steps, tells you the truth even when you don’t want to hear it, and helps you build a spiritual foundation that won’t collapse when life hits.

A Temporary Sponsor is the person who keeps you from drifting until you find the right long-term fit… someone to get you started, not someone to keep you stuck.

And a Closed-Mouthed Friend?
That’s the person you can trust with anything — no judgment, no gossip, no games — just honesty, confidentiality, and compassion.

These three roles are different, but each one is vital to staying sober, staying connected, and staying honest.

Let’s talk about how to find them, how to use them, and how to BE them for someone else.
