Criteria of Choosing a Sponsor in the “12 Step” Recovery Model

Annotation

Sponsorship is one of the main characteristics of self and mutual aid groups for the prevention of addictive behavior from drug and alcohol use. The dominant task of sponsorship is interpersonal support for a recovering addict with more significant experience of abstinence from using psychoactive substances, and for another addict who is at an earlier stage of recovery. This interaction is mutually beneficial both in psychological and social aspects. At the same time, the problem arises of determining the predictors of the formation of a given social and psychological interaction between the sponsor and the sponsored. We conducted a study of the criteria for choosing a sponsor among 40 members of the Narcotics Anonymous community with experience of recovery from 1 month to 9 years in the Moscow region. A conclusion is drawn about the importance of sponsorship in the process of recovery from chemical dependence.
