In various 12-Step groups, such as AA or NA, a
sponsor is someone who has some time in the program and has worked
the steps who is willing to be there for
newcomer. Sponsors generally help take the newcomer through the steps, are there to listen when a newcomer calls, and encourages the him or her to get involved in the group. Sponsors expect nothing in return except that the sponsee does the same for the next person needing help.
Example:
Fred: I've had a really
hard day. Wish a beer was around...
Sam: You might wanna think about calling your
sponsor first.
Sponsee: Hey John, just wanted to say hey, nothing new here.
Sponsor: Good to hear, see you at a meeting tonight?
Sponsee: Yeah, I'll be there.
Sponsor: Good, you might wanna go
ahead and make the coffee.

A
sponsor is a key component to successfully recovering from alcoholism or
drug addiction through the 12-step program. Your sponsor is the sympathetic support person with whom you can share anything in relation to your recovery process, no matter how embarrassing. Your sponsor is the person who will take you through the 12 steps of
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotic Anonymous (NA).

In Poland and possibly other Central European countries, the English word "sponsor" is used to describe a usually older, wealthy man who gives a young female friend money to help her through college, etc. He usually gets sex in return. She usually searches for him through an agency or
web site. Both the man and the woman may have other steady partners. Neither the man nor the woman will admit the practice is
prostitution, as the couple have a steady friendship and may go on
clandestine holidays together, etc. The practice is far less normal in post-feminist Western Europe or North America, where it would be considered prostitution.
Example:
Magda from
Warsaw posted an advert on the internet looking for a sponsor. She had the looks and the charm, and needed the money to finish her
law degree. Her ideal man was about the same age as her father, from somewhere like England or America and good looking. That would make sleeping with him a little easier.
