My sponsor told me that when she came into the program, her God was a Leprechaun sitting on her shoulder. I figure if she could stay clean and sober, at the time 11 years sober and free of a pot addiction, she may give me new insight into this Higher Power that they talked about in the rooms of recovery. I later learned that she was a Reiki Master.
I was told to look for someone who had what you didn't. She was on call for AA help line every night, she got me active in service too. Not just taking calls, but active in the rooms of recovery. If it wasn't for my sponsor and service, I don't think I would have stayed sober. I am so grateful for the newcomer who showed me that it isn't any better out there, and did my research for me.
