Hey Jeni, I agree with Paul. Some sponsors have the attitude they can fix pretty much anything and everything. It takes a smart, honest sponsor to know their limitations. You've come a long way in AA so don't give up. A big part of being sober is realizing my own limitations and sometimes I need help no one else can give other than someone who's been trained in a certain area. Just make an appointment with a therapist and go from there. You came to AA for a reason. Don't lose sight of that reason. If you were talking about your fears, and going to therapy is something you fear, maybe that's worth looking at. My wife and I had sponsors who were married to each other and they suggested counsuling for our marrital problems. You'd think having gone through it themselves, they'd know the answers but unless we're trained in that area, sometimes we just have to turn it over. Think about it and pray on it before you do anything rash.
