Got a sponsor!


There was a woman that spoke at a few meetings that every time she talked I felt so much comfort.  I had wanted to ask her for some time, but hadn't seen her.  She was at the meeting last night and ...LOL...I knew I had to pounce on her.  Anyways, she's an old timer...like 20+ years and I love my "women's" group - No offense to the men out here - but our group is amazing, and I just connect with some women here that I'm so different from.  I really love it. I grabbed two phone numbers last night and a woman that has been in the program 2 years said she got a sponsor last night and I knew it was my time.  I've been in the program since March and my dry drunk is testing my boundaries, and it's tough.  I knew I needed help, so I was nervous, but practically tripped walking out of the building to grab her and asked her. I was even embarrased that others could here me ask, but I need her support.  She GETS it in a BIG way, and I was practically in tears.  She is so wonderful.  What she says and when she says it is like a light goes off every time I hear it.  I love my group because we are all so different and really, I get perspective EVERY time I hear someone else talk.  She is nothing like me, and yet, I feel like she could speak to me personally evey time she opens her mouth. She chaired last night and I could barely take my eyes off her.

God, I feel like a groupie, but I'm just so happy.  Sometimes I feel so alone, like no one gets this.  Everyone in my circle drinks, and yet, these people GET IT.

Congratulations! Sponsorship is SUCH a gift. I'm not sure I'd be where I am in my recovery today without my wonderful sponsor.
