Been asked to be a sponsor


I was asked the other day to consider being a person's sponsor.

I was actually pretty surprised. My sponsor had pointed this person over to me maybe a month or so ago. I told this person that I'd not sponsored anyone before, and that I'm still only officially working my 4th step, but if she's willing to give it a try, I'd help.

Didn't hear much from her after that. Kind of figured she might seek another person, which was no big deal to me.

But she asked me the other day, and I accepted.

As I was driving home after the meeting where she asked me, all I could do was say... "Hmm... okay, God. What's your plan in this?"

This will certainly be a new journey for me. I think I need to pick up some pamphlets about sponsorship and read up and refresh my mind!

Thank goodness I have a fantastic sponsor who's willing to be my guide.

(( Aloha ))  WTG!  A new chapter on the journey, many more opportunities for growth up ahead ~ I think asking you co-pilot is the healthy response!  Keep on doing that and working your program for you and you will be great!

I've listened and watched some and you got something to give away and besides how
do you know what you have works unless you watch someone else work it and get
sane.  This will help you get one with your own recovery also cause it is soooo not
good to watch a sponsee out distance me.   ((((hugs)))) go for it!! smile

Haha Jerry - I was telling my sponsor that I need to get my butt moving on my 4th step work because the sponsee just might pass me up... and then where'd we be??? ;)
