i've done both

my first sponsor
i would call everyday
sometimes 3, 4 messages
leave a message what meeting i'm going to
just to touch base
it worked
i felt better
it was like a AA connection, just to call
and
i've had a sponsor
it was like
"call everyday"
i did it
but then i had your attitude
all i can say
my program faultered by not doing what my sponsor said

it's a sort of
"taking back your will" thing
try to do it for your 90 and 90
a meeting, a call for 90 days
i guarantee it will help
put those "control" feelings aside for a while

[B]"................................................. ...I didn't go last night because I was totally exhausted, napped on and off all day and went to bed early,..."[/B
i don't buy it
napping all day is for cats, bears, etc]
as in "i was just too gosh dawn lazy to jump in the shower, put on my shoes and go"
so
a suggestion
i learned in my 1st rehab
when you don't feel up to par
take a shower
it makes you feel better
and
it works for me
not 5, 6 showers a day
but
i bet it would have got you out of bed


best

p.s.
your post is good
honest, sincere, real
keep it up
