One of the first things I learned about being a sponsor is that it's not about control. It's not about do this or do that or else. It's about sharing and careing. My first sponsor told me, "people don't care how much you know, they want to know how much you care." Just because I let someone go, doesn't mean I don't care. However, at some point I have to make a decision as to whose sobriety is most important. Mine, or the other person's? Talk to your sponsor, go back to your home group and get honest. It just might save your life.
