Definition of Terms: A Partner is someone you keep in touch with for chizuk and accountability. A Sponsor is someone who is clean for at least 90 days and wants to help strengthen others, either as a Mitzva or as part of his own recovery (Step 12).  A Sponsee is someone that is looking for a sponsor.

The Pasuk in Mishlei (18:1) says: "Le'taava yevakesh nifrad - Desire seeks isolation". Isolation causes us to go after our Taavah - our lust. The addiction wants us to withdraw into ourselves and disconnect from life. A partner in this struggle can do wonders in helping us reconnect to the world around us and ultimately break free. Going into detail with someone else about what we are feeling, is one of the best ways to let go of the lust when it strikes. And describing what we've done is one of the best ways to get out the shame, guilt and remorse, and move on. A partner or sponsor also introduces the vital element of "accountability" into the equation. As Rav Yochanan Ben Zakai blessed his students, "May your fear of heaven be equal to your fear of man". And his students asked him: "Rebbe, is that all?". And he answered: "Halevai!". (See Tool #11 of the GYE Program to learn more about the value and power of having a partner).
