the best thing is for you to understand that sponcership is to keep you sober not anyone else. When this is given just listen for someone to get it out of there system. I do one more thing related to their fourth step is to have them list some of the positive atributes also, many when a fourth is given they only foucus on the bad things gets them feeling bad. so at the same time if I give the person i sponcered a task of writing a second one. it can be as siimple as I came to AA to get help. There are many positve things going on with a new comer. Good luck
