Until the later part of my drinking, I had so many people that would co-sign my B.S. and it didn't help me see what I needed to see. I mentioned the later part of my drinking, because my B.S. co-signers just couldn't do it anymore and left. Now, that's what I needed.
I am grateful my Sponsor gives it to me like it needs to be given. She would rather see me alive than be my best friend.
Jane, I can relate. I picked my first sponsor because I knew I could manipulate him and still run my own show without getting called on my sh*t..... Didn't work out to well. Relapse after relapse..
When I was finally willing to get honest, drop my pride and take suggestions I asked a gentlemen to be my sponsor that I really respected and knew he would tell me what I needed to hear and not what I wanted to here.
He's been a tremendous asset to my recovery. He's taken me through the steps and provided the structure I needed in my recovery to stay sober and happy.
I'm grateful that god allowed this sponsor to be part of my life.
