I am so happy that I found a sponsor last night!! :) I have been asking my HP to reveal someone to me who would be a better fit for me than the last woman I had.
This lady is in both programs, she has a sponsor, she has done the steps, and she is a really positive and warm person (I needed to find a sponsor who I felt safe with
and someone who had some warmth). Anyways...she is a lot older than me - she is in her70s and I am in my 30s and she is dealing with medical issues with her husband
and so she said that talking on the phone would work for her. Getting together may be harder for her but at any rate I am just so happy to have a sponsor. I don't really
know what I need to do exactly now. I have worked the steps with my last sponsor and it was basically a really bad experience and I wonder if I need to do the steps again
with my new one? I am just so glad that I feel safe to pick up the phone and call her when I am having a rough time. I still worry that I am being a bother to people but I
am going to use this as an opportunity to teach myself I am not a bother. This lady is reallyfun and sweet and works her program. Can you tell how excited I am ???
Anything you friends would like to tell me about my new journey with my sponsor that you think would be helpful for me? Thanks for being here. I am so glad to be working my
program more now. I have been miserable and playing the victim but there are blue skies ahead!!! :)
Awesome news! So happy for you. Even though I am not super close to my sponsor and we both have very busy schedules, I know that she always has the right thing to say when I need to hear it. Congratulations!
