Hi Jen,
Hope you feel better soon. Is your sponsor getting help and guidance from her own sponsor? I am also at step 8, Interesting what BBthumper said about people falling away faced with this step, I can see how that could happen easily.
I started a thread about doing the steps without a sponsor, maybe it hasn't been posted yet but I am looking forward to people's advice. My sponsor is on holidays fo 4 more weeks and I don't want to wait any longer. I am in daily contact with her by email.
I am feeling very good at the moment and this is a time I don't want to rest on my laurels and get on with the work.
All the best and lets know how everything is going.
Love
Caihong
