My friend Bill White just ran across a ten year follow-up study that looked at the role of sponsorship in predicting post-treatment sobriety. Those who sponsored other AA members throughout the ten year study had a 91% end of study remission rate. The scientists are finally figuring out this helping other drunks is pretty powerful stuff.
Here's the citation:
