Q: does this group keep in touch via social media?

Q: do you use the "sponsor-sponsee" or "fellow traveler" method of sponsorship?

A: the latter, the fellow-traveler method puts both ACA members on equal footing, seeking answers and solutions together. As fellow travelers in recovery, we need not fear  sponsorship as a reenactment of the domination, neglect or control we experienced as children. We establish our relationship based on equality and mutual respect.🙏 We do not have a list of sponsors, nor do we post sponsoring in the chat.
