Beginners Sponsorship Guide
Read full descriptionHide full description
A free digital companion to the paper Beginners Sponsorship Guide by Bobby. Built for the AA community — for people who have completed the 12 steps and are now ready to sponsor others. THE GUIDE The full 60-page guide, digitized. Big Book passages for each step with tap-to-read excerpts. The Problem and Solution diagrams, Step One through Step Twelve illustrations, the Spiritual Arch, and the "Our Way of Life" diagram — all redrawn as crisp vector graphics. WRITABLE INVENTORIES The Resentment Inventory, Fear Inventory, and Sex Conduct Inventory are fully writable, laid out the way Bobby designed them: • Resentment Inventory — four columns, seven areas of self, three belief/fear pairs per area, and the full column four (Realization, Self-Seeking, Selfish, Dishonest, Afraid, Harm). • Fear Inventory — chain the fears underneath your fears until you reach the root. • Sex Conduct Inventory — relationship history plus the nine questions from the Big Book, page 69. • Future Sex Ideal — build your "God, in the future I would like to be…" list. SPONSOR + SPONSEE Link with your sponsor (or sponsee) using a simple 6-character code — no email, no passwords. When the sponsee is ready, they tap "Share" and the sponsor can read the inventory from their own phone. Mark resentments and relationships as "Reviewed together" so you always know where you left off between sessions. PRIVACY Your inventory content is private by default. It only becomes visible to a sponsor after you tap Share. No ads. No analytics. No email or phone number required. You can delete your account and all data from Settings at any time. ACKNOWLEDGMENT This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. The 12 Steps and the Big Book are the property of A.A.W.S. The Beginners Sponsorship Guide was written by Bobby as a service to the fellowship. This app is a community effort to make it more accessible. See ya in the trenches.
