Jeni, My sponsor told me that she needed to keep me on track since I had a short attention span the other day.

I said, "Thanks alot!"...

She said, "It's not you...it's your brain."

I was so offended.

I went into explaining how I don't have a short attention span. I just have my own things I want to talk to her about, and so our agendas are in conflict! I was still mad about it for hours. I said I am never talking to her again. How dare she! Humph. ! I'll show her.

I had a sponsor years back always suggest to me I needed to go to a doctor because she said if there was some reason mentally that was keeping me unwell...it would be a shame that I didn't find that out.

It could be why I relapse...as in some other mental issue.

I was super offended.

Me?

How dare they imply something is wrong with me!

I don't know if this makes you laugh, but it is silly how offended we get at other's suggestions...

We want it done our way, if they would only do what we want.

I think your sponsor is showing you who she is, and she is saying...I think we may need more help...or again, it sounds like her fear that she can't help you.

She feels in over her head with some things she heard from you, and stalled.

She did that.

You get to find someone that is ready to help you get through this.

I don't know that it matters who hears it. Just get it out. Find someone willing to hear the whole story.

Hope you find that person.
