Today I had the great privilege to speak at my sponsors Ary celebration today. I was the third person to speak, and I was a bit nervous. I wasn’t sure where to begin, but I trusted God, and believed she would give me the right words to say.
I started off I congratulating him, and I then shared my experience strength and hope. I talked about how early on he was there for me in my sobriety. From the beginning, he was very gentle and kind and self sacrificing. He helped me out when I couldn’t help myself. He’s been a great comfort but consistently holds me accountable. I get to work with him once a week. He is taking me through the steps, for which I am grateful.
All I can say is that I am grateful for my sponsor. And, I, hope everyone who has a sponsor is grateful for them as well. It is such a selfless Act and responsibility to be a sponsor. I hope one day I can be as good a sponsor as my sponsor.
