Well, this is TOTALLY my opinion, oh, and I am not a sponsor.....but here goes:

For one, we cannot MAKE anyone want to be our sponsees. We cannot change people, places or things. Maybe they don't want a sponsor with only 10 months clean. (I have 10 1/2 months too btw and I am not sponsoring anyone and am only one step 6)

For another, I do not think she should have been talking about you to others.

Finally, she cannot force you to change who you are. If you are shy, then that is your personality. I am very outgoing and have always been. I could never be shy. My husband has always been shy and could probably never be outgoing.

I just am not agreeing w/ her. I am kind of bothered by it. However, having said that, don't say dumb things to her like you are gonna relapse, cuz you cannot change her. Just tell her how you feel and ask her to pray about it. if it isn't working, you can always find a new sponsor.

hang in there Angelina! You are doing AWESOME! Sheila
