Rent-A-Sponsor Rerun
Quote:
In today, I don't need to call my sponsor that often. When we do connect, we have a good natter. In early recovery, my sponsor let me go because I was so sick that because of her own health, she felt like she couldn't be there for me. She later took me back under her wing. Without a sponsor, I don't think I would have stayed sober in early recovery. She was a lifeline. The top of a long list of people who were there for me. I had a strong network of support. The sad thing is that I have detached from a lot of them, for the most part, it is due to my health, and me not getting out to meetings. At different times in my recovery, I have had an AA sponsor, a co-sponsor, and a spiritual adviser. Because I needed outside help, I had a NA sponsor and an Al-Anon sponsor. As a result of doing service, I also had a service sponsor, who later became an AA sponsor. *Remember, it's better to look good than to feel good! *Why save your ass at the cost of losing your face? I can remember trying to feel good on the outside because I felt so badly in the inside. A long-timer once said, "No sense in asking you, you are always feeling good." I thought I had done something wrong. I did feel good. Each day was a gift and my sponsor(s) were a part of that goodness. Grateful for the sponsor I had over the years.
