Great job, Tazman...and kudos on being determined to get busy!!
The more thoroughly you work the steps...the better your foundation...the more spiritual content you will be. Everything is proportional.
If you want..you can keep the first one as well, kinda make him a "back up" sponsor. I'd explain to him. I had a sponsor "fire" me and her explanation hurt my feelings at the time. I appreciate though that she had the courage to tell me why...rather than me wondering, was it something I said, something I did? She needed something else that I didn't have (she and her spouse are both in the program), so she got a sponsor who's spouse is also in the program...working well for them...which is great! We still talk.
Personally, I have 2 sponsors. The one I've had for several years...she's a lot like me. The other one, complements the other side of me too...the "harsh truths". Both are very strong in areas. I make sure I don't play them against each other nor use them to "get what I want to hear". The funny thing is, they usually respond the same way..just saying it differently!!
Keep up the great work...keep "steppin" forward! Great job on reading the Big Book!!! I attend a 12&12 study and a Big Book study every week. That has seriously enhanced my sobriety as well!!!
Blessings,
Jen
