Connections - A Guide to Using Support in ACA Recovery

Introducing the Connections Book: A Deeper Look at Support in Recovery

What does real support look like in ACA?

How do we navigate the difference between a fellow traveler and a sponsor?

And how do we build relationships that are grounded in trust, clarity, and healthy boundaries?

The Connections book was created in response to a delegate motion asking for clarity around these questions – starting with the difference between a fellow traveler and a sponsor, a distinction not clearly defined in the Big Red Book.

But what began as a simple clarification evolved into something much more meaningful.

Inside Connections, you'll find a thoughtful, wide-ranging exploration of support in ACA:

• The roles of both the seeker and the supporter

• Common challenges and misunderstandings in support relationships

• Practical insights for building stronger connections in recovery

Whether you're new to ACA or have been in the program for years, Connections offers valuable guidance for anyone seeking – or offering – support on the journey to healing.
