I’m pretty sure my sponsor is going to leave me

I’m pretty sure my sponsor is going to leave me, and I’m kind of okay with it. I just don’t believe we are compatible due to conflicting ideas of sobriety. I have to remind myself that I am doing the work, attending meetings, being an active participant IN meetings and commitments… I live each day with the promises being fulfilled for me. I live the program each day and actively practice what the program has taught me and continues to teach me… my connection to my higher power has only grown.

And in addition to all of these things I am Cali-sober!!

Cannabis has never turned me into a monster, a thief, a lunatic… I’ve never had the “allergic reaction” of alcohol to cannabis. I do not use cannabis as a crutch. I am not mentally obsessing over it. I am not harming a single person.

All-in-all… there are grey areas in sobriety, and in those areas for my journey, there is nicotine/vape, caffeine, and cannabis. The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. That’s all I’ve got. Thanks Loosid.

Absolutely Kajan, if the sponsor isn’t working out you find another one. Keep doing what you’re doing :pray::muscle:

Im living my best Cali-sober life and I couldn’t ask for more. I have an amazing relationship with my family, an amazing relationship with my job, I feel serenity and happiness!

It’s one of those situations where I don’t need to argue my sobriety. I am serene in my mind and free of mental obsession. I work my program. I work my steps. This is not what a relapse looks like in my sobriety. I just passed a year. A relapse for me would involve alcohol/falling into old ways of thought and action. I haven’t. Thank you Luis.

Thank you, not only will I continue to do what works, I will do the next right thing.

So basically you’re saying you don’t drink. And use spiritual teachings. There’s lots of people who don’t drink. And lots that are also spiritual.
I think it’s great, whatever brings you your best life. But if you take intoxicating drugs then that’s not sobriety.

So caffeine and nicotine too. They’re mind-altering substances. I think you have your version of sobriety and that’s great, but my journey is mine and I have the best sober life I could imagine. Good day to you!

There’s no basic in anything I said. I said what I said. Lol

I am giving the definition of sobriety. You have your own version. And that’s great. As soon as police start giving DWI’s for too many Starbucks and Marlboros I’ll reconsider.
