2. What is the difference between a sponsor and a peer coach?
Answer: A recovery coach is more generalized while a sponsor is more program oriented. A recovery coach meets you where you are at in the readiness to change. A sponsor is responsible for assisting you through a 12 step program while adhering exclusively to the traditions.
Pick Yourself Up was created by peer coaches who are building a recovery community and a safe place for hope to grow in.
