Betrayed by sponsor. Finding it next to impossible to want to go to meetings!
If you need to talk feel free to reach out
So get a new one!
Sponsors are human. Get to a mtg, get an interim sponsor. I am working w my third sponsor in under a year… well fourth really but my first one was in my first week and only for a few days.

Same. Sorta. More like the relationship abruptly ended. It’s so weird. I feel you.

Even with that you are not alone. At any given meeting there are multiple people who have had multiple sponsors for lots of reasons, some healthy and some very unhealthy. Don’t let that deter you. Just keep moving forward. I’m struggling with my sponsor and with the steps, both of which will workout as long as I just keep going to meetings. Even in AA I feel alone often. Still I go to the meetings. If I was stop it would take all of about 3 seconds for me to say f$ck it then game over.
Hi Julia, during my first stent of sobriety, I started to steer off the path and those I counted on for support turned away. I was highly involved in a church. That feeling of betrayal and abandonment turned into a huge recent that even included my higher power. I went back out for rough 13 years. The journey to sobriety is not easy but just take one thing at a time. I have learned that when one thing disappears it for a reason. In the last 4 years I have lost a lot but what I gained in the last 2 years of sobriety is infinitely better. Try not to beat yourself up and the sudden stop, generally thing are not what they seem.
