I would find another sponsor... personally, if I was in your position and my sponsor told me in any fashion to get over my pain without experiencing it herself, I would feel that she crossed the boundaries of what a sponsor is/is not supposed to do.

You have so clearly tried to manage your pain withOUT the drugs we addictive types tend to "like"... You are one tough cookie in my book.
