So today's been a very busy day since 8am this morning. I had a long drive to get to my sponsee with a coffee for him and a pack of smokes and so I could bring him to his first meeting and he got his 24 hour chip. I also seen some of the guys I've known for over 3 year's and I sucked up my pride and joined a new home group. I feel proud and after the meeting,I bought him lunch and drove him back to where he's staying at. I also work with him and he wanted me as a sponsor so he has me as his sponsor and I told him I'm old school and have no issue giving him a swift kick in the rear end of needed so he knows I'm taking all of this seriously because recovery isn't a joke. Recovery is a saviour from ourselves and I'm passionate, compassionate

Sometimes tough love is necessary and if your sponsee buys into the support and can believe he can make changes, he'll grow with you on this journey.
