The Connections book began as an answer to a delegate motion to clarify the difference between a fellow traveler and a sponsor, which was not clear in the Big Red Book. In the course of examining this question, the committee realized that there were many other issues that could be discussed relating to support in recovery, including solving common problems in support relationships and examining the benefits of Support. This book presents a wide ranging view of support from the standpoint of both parties to the relationship, the one seeking support and the one offering support.
