No human power - right? Right?
I have been asking myself the same Dan, seriously. I don't talk to my sponsor much really at all anymore - there are other people I would rather talk about a 10th step with and just get along better with at a personal level. He took me through the steps - he was very precise and knew what he was talking about...as much as I would have liked to build a friendship with him and have him be concerned with me, it just isn't going to happen by my forcing it.
Last night, I saw him at our home group for the first time in a couple of months (I have spoken to him on the phone a couple times during this period) - but I realized talking to him, that his work with me is done. We aren't much more than acquaintances now - such is life, I saw some resentment creeping up and called someone to talk about it, the potential resentment was diffused. - Pretty practical stuff.
That being said (sorry for my rant) - if you are in the middle of step work and your sponsor isn't around and not showing, calling. I would say it's time to get someone else and finish up this step work. He's human, no human power will relieve our alcoholism.
right?
