The Sponsor tells the story of Rich Watson, a star athlete with a brilliant mind and unlimited potential-until alcoholism cut him off at the knees. With the help of a good sponsor and the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, he overcomes his disease and begins to live a life beyond his wildest dreams.
The more that Rich receives in fame, fortune, and respect, the less feels the need to practice the steps of AA. Moreover, he doesn't have time. His business is booming, his life is incredibly busy, and he has a batch of unruly sponsees who he is always chasing around.
Then Rich gets hit with a series of disasters in his personal and professional life. His health is threatened; his business is under attack; his family is fraying; and his sponsees are driving him crazy. As a man of towering intellect and many talents, he takes it all on, spinning plates expertly until they start to fall and crash. Disillusioned, Rich hits bottom after bottom in sobriety-until life brings him to a new jumping off point.
