[Tricky]

On that note, and this is my final statment, you have missed the point... i had been in recovery for some five years, this wasnt just a sponcer, this was my friend, my teacher, he promised me two things "sobriety and fellowship" and told me the way to get these was to help others, ring people, give what i had to keep what i had. do chairs, go to hospitals, go to prisons, carry the message in MY every day life, do the steps, go to meetings, do ninrty in ninety. i did all this for nearly five years. i didnt fall in and out of recovery. it was once!! we can all sit indoors and wait for people to ring or we can be pro-active, if you are sponcers, would you rather go to funerals or make the call? if your going to be a sponcer then help take responcilbility for your sponcees. or are you still hiding behind recovery and "well im sick too" cross that bridge to normality, if you cant or dont really want to go the whole way dont sponcer"" i did, i didnt chase them but if i hadnt heard from them id ring, if i dont how can i possibly know that there dads died or there bang in trouble, in your thinking i should let them be and let them go back out there, why ? i didnt preach to them to ring others and then not do it myself, with clean time behind us we know that a relapse doesnt take place when they pick up it started two or three months ago. should we stand by and watch them kill themselfs because they dont know any better and havent got the knoldge we have. . . i will not let a sponcee learn by his/her mistakes because its life and death. . . you just keep hiding behind "its there recovery and we"ll just keep losing people to this fu*ked up disease.
