Music and Jim you bring up some good points.
I had to get rid of a sponsor because she kept telling me that I was not ready to do the Steps, but yet wanted me to call her everyday to check in. My question was to check into what. I knew I needed something more than just an ear, encouragement, and support to stay sober as I had that throughout the years of my drinking and still was not able to stay sober. Fortunately, I was able to find a sponsor who was step oriented. She is a firm believer in working the Steps around every aspect of our lives. If I am having a problem at work, I need to work the steps around it. It doesn't matter what the problem is the Steps are the solution. It took me nearly 3 years to find this sponsor but I am thankful she was put in my life. By applying the Steps to my life I find I have less and less problems that come up. Funny how that works, guess that is part of not having new wreckage to clean up as working the Steps keeps it cleared away.
