I dont want my sponsees to like me, i want them to live.the truth is i can only share what works for me. if they dont want to do it because their lives are such a success up to this point, they need to get a sponsor that will do it their way. oh wait a second their way didnt work so they asked me to be their sponsor..........any questions?

I'm not a hard core in your face type sponsor but at the meeting today she whined every excuse in the book and said she's just not sure about working the steps and doesn't want to do it now. She's only my 3rd sponsee, one went back out after a week, the other is working real hard at her program. I've not had to deal with resistant sponsees and don't know what to tell her. "Call me when your ready to do some work?"...like I said dunno.. I don't like being disrespectful to a lady 15 years my senior... any suggestions? |
