Sponsor Me is an independent directory that helps people find volunteer peer sponsors across AA, NA, CMA, SMART Recovery and other recovery communities - and then makes that first message easy to send.
Founder, Sponsor Me
My name is Travis. Sponsor Me wasn't created because I studied addiction from the outside - addiction was a part of my life for more than 20 years.
I built this platform so people seeking recovery could more easily find and connect with volunteer peer sponsors from communities such as AA, NA, SMART Recovery, CMA, and others. Browsing is free, and sponsors never pay.
My name is Travis, and Sponsor Me wasn't created because I studied addiction from the outside. I created it because addiction was a part of my life for more than 20 years.
During those years, I struggled with many different substances, including heroin, methamphetamine, crack, cocaine, alcohol, pills, and other drugs. Addiction took more from me than I ever thought I could lose. One of the most painful consequences was losing my three children from my life.
I know what it feels like when addiction has taken so much that you wonder how you're ever going to rebuild. I also learned how important connection can be in recovery. Sometimes having another person who understands, listens, and has walked a similar road can make a difference in someone's day.
That's why I built Sponsor Me.
I wanted to create a place where people seeking recovery could more easily find and connect with volunteer peer sponsors from communities such as AA, NA, SMART Recovery, CMA, and others.
Sponsor Me isn't meant to replace treatment, therapy, or professional help. It's about making human connection easier.
If this platform helps even one person find someone they can reach out to when they feel alone, then building it was worth it.

Sponsor Me connects you with volunteer peer sponsors - people with lived experience who choose to help. They are not therapists, doctors, counselors or crisis responders, and this platform is not treatment, therapy or medical care.
No legal name required. You choose a display name, share only what you want, and you can delete your account and profile at any time from Settings.
Block and Report sit inside every conversation and never require a membership. Reports go to a human moderation queue, and accounts that break the community rules are suspended or removed.
Browsing sponsors is free forever and sponsor accounts are free forever. People looking for a sponsor get 20 free messages, then memberships start at $1.99 a week - and there is a free access pass if money is the only thing in the way.
Sponsor Me is not an emergency service and cannot respond to crises. If you are in immediate danger, or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right away.
