Okay, I have a stupid question: What are you supposed to talk to your sponsor about aside from working the steps or if you are in a drinking situation and need support?
Well, in my thinking, a sponsor should be someone who becomes a good friend who is there when needed to guide you through life in general. Steps are included yet the being there part the most important thing. Good luck finding one. Nothing cooler than having a person at your side through recovery. With a higher power included.
Thank you! That's good to know, I never really relied in the sponsor like that in the past but I want to do it right this time
Hey KK! Great question! I like to tell my sponsor how I’m feeling, especially when I’m feeling off. He helps get to the bottom of what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling that way. Sometimes I have no clue what I’m feeling but I just feel anxious or uncomfortable. I just try and be honest and vulnerable.
That's really cool that you have such a close relationship with your sponsor. I know that's a big part of this whole thing, vulnerability.... something I'm definitely trying to get better at
