| What exactly is a sponsor?
I've been advised to find one. It's not even much of a choice, actually.
I think I've picked up the basic gist of sponsorship... you call them with problems, they check up on you, answer questions about the 12-steps.
I don't feel entirely comfortable with the idea of making some stranger my confidant. Not so much the principle of it, but I have a disposition towards unstable relationships. And my drinking problem was always something very personal. I went to great lengths to hide it from people I already had a trusting relationship with.
And can I have a sponsor if I'm indifferent to the 12-steps? I'm returning to AA meetings, but I just like the "group therapy" aspect of it.
