I will be meeting a new sponsee Friday evening for our initial "interview". I think I have read on one of the Alcoholism forums three questions that should be asked to potential sponsees, and if they answer "yes" to all three, they are ready for sponsorship.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, what are the questions?

Thanks,

Whether I sponsor someone or not is not actually based on three questions, it is based on one 'Will you sponsor me?' My answer is ALWAYS 'yes'. God sorts out the rest.

i believe those three questions to ask come from the little blue book called "going Through The Steps" written by Clarance Synder.
those questions are found on page one and read as follows:

(1) Do you think you have a drinking problem?
(2) Do you want to do anything about the problem?
(3) What are you willing to do about it?

on another note .......... its quite interesting that in my part of this world there is a group where the lineage is traced back to dr. bob .. ( he would be the great great great grand sponsor of this group). this group meets every two months around here and takes folks through the steps in one day .
