Good morning all. I'm really struggling with the sponsor aspect of the program. I've had a couple and haven't felt comfortable enough anyone of them. I have come to find out that this program is mental work for me, and a struggle with that. I was never good in school because i am mentally lazy. If it was a physical program, I would CRUSH IT! Lol. Any thoughts? Have a happy, blessed and sober day.

Have you tried therapy? I struggled and still struggle with the sponsor ideal and the process of the program in general. I’ve found my strength in therapy and meeting with my therapist once a week. Just a thought I know it’s not for everyone

School is programming and memorizing to just create little workers to take orders from others anyway brother! I never finished 9th grade and carried a story I am not smart most of my life and its so not true. Prove to yourself that its just a story that was made up before you knew how mentally powerful you actually are!! You got this!!!

It's hard to find a sponsor you feel totally comfortable with. Keep searching when you find the right person opening up will be much easier.

Good luck I hope you have a great day
I had to stop waiting and searching for a sponsor who is perfectly trustworthy and start working on being honest and trusting.
Thank you everyone for the positive feedback and advice. Much appreciated.
Addiction is a mental disease. Nobody wants to get into their own head and start chasing the demons. A sponsor, especially in the beginning, is not going to be your friend. They are going to say stuff you don’t want to hear and ask you to do stuffyou don’t want do. It is the most important part of the program. You have to free yourself from your past so you don’t drag it along into your future.
