In this episode of the Catholic in Recovery podcast, Scott Weeman and Father Sean Kilcawley discuss the importance of sponsorship in 12-step recovery and how helping others strengthens our own recovery. They reflect on how to know when you're ready to become a sponsor, why sponsors don't necessarily need to share the same faith or life experiences, and how to learn from the guidance of your own sponsor. They also respond to a listener's question about navigating differences in spiritual beliefs, emphasizing the importance of healthy boundaries, humility, and compassion when supporting others on their recovery journey.
