I share what has worked for me with sponsees. I do not ask them to do anything I have not already done. The minimum is simple: have OA contact every day (meeting, phone call, or out to lunch); call me regularly (their decision on weekly, every day, or 3-4 times weekly); and attend at least one meeting weekly. If they want more benefits of the program, they will do more: utilize a God Box; journaling, even if it is only “God, I am so tired.” at one a.m.; and reading a piece of OA literature every day. I use all the tools, have had two sponsors (sometimes a third) as I have gone through the many seasons of my life.
