For the past year or so my sponsor have been dealing with her own issues, divorce and all the fallout from that, I've felt like the roles are reversed. Anyway, I've been thinking I needed a new sponsor. Yesterday, at a meeting I was impressed by a members comment during the meeting, she attends regularly. After the meeting I told her I loved what she had shared, we exchanged phone #'s and the subject of sponsorship came up, she said she would love to sponsor me. My sponsor was supposed to meet me at the meeting, but something came up, and she didn't make it. She hasn't been attending meetings on a regular basis for some time now.
I'm wondering how to handle this, do I tell her I'm getting another sponsor or is it possible to have 2. We've become good friends so I don't want to hurt her feelings, she is very sensitive, but I'm thinking our relationship maybe a little to friendly for me to get the help I need. Any esh on how I should proceed.
Thanks!
Gettinitright!!

You can have 2 or 3 or 4 sponsors, as many as you need. I had three for awhile because I was in really bad shape, really hurting so I needed someone to talk with daily & I didn't want to totally drain one person....Two of the ladies have become really good friends & the other lady is only a excellent sponsor, she makes me really work the steps .
