Yay! NRA.

Well Huntsober, you are doing the right thing there. I just read again recently that "In the multitude of counselors there is safety." —Proverbs 11:14

One of my NA sponsors was all and only NA. However, she never opposed to the other areas I have in my life and for that I am grateful. She just told me that for her, AA and church were not options. I think there is a lot more out there than just NA peeps...there are pastors, teachers, husbands, friends, AA members, church mentors, etc.

I think that if he is finger pointing it is his problem. I think he is drinking waaay too much kool aid there.

What is working for you and your sponsees is none of his business, and I think his whole issue is a pride issue.

We have to live in the world and interact with many different people in all walks of life. Besides, isn't a sponsor someone who guides you through the steps, not a discipleship only of NA?

He sounds a bit small or perhaps "fearful" in his thinking.

Blessings, Sheila
