as it goes my sponsor has good sobriety, but at this time for family reasons today she told me, she is moving away in 2 weeks... heard mention of this last week and asked, she said it was something that wasn't likely to happen in the next 4months or so.

Anyways i'm not upset, she said that she still wanted to be my sponsor. i feel i want to detach myself so she can concentrate on family obligations.

Unsure of how long distance sponsoring will work out and if its going to be effective at this stage of my sobriety (<1mth)...
I would like to continue with her support but thinking a local sponsor would be more practical....
Still a lil overwhelmed by it all... AA, sponsors, the whole recovery thing...
i'm confused... just trying to stay sober for a day at a time.
Talk to your sponsor, pray about it and all will work out. Actually, your sponsor can be a big help in finding you a new sponsor when/if she does leave.
