In this episode, we dive into the idea of "sponsor families" — you’ve probably heard someone say, “My sponsor’s sponsor was sponsored by so-and-so,” almost like a sobriety family tree. But is that even a real thing? Or is it something we made up to feel more important in the rooms?

We talk about where the concept might have come from, why some people cling to the lineage of their sponsorship like a badge of honor, and whether this creates more division than unity. At the end of the day, we all date back to Bill Wilson — so is the whole sponsor-family vibe helpful or just ego in disguise? Tune in for a thought-provoking, honest conversation with a little humor mixed in.
