Yup,i hear this all the time.To carry the AA message,and not my own message,is how ive always understood this to mean.To share my experience,strenght,and hope as it pretains to AA and how working the steps into my life.Ive had a sponsor that puts her own spin on the message,etc,,etc.And i followed her advice,and yes it was hurting me more than helping.But i must take responsibility myself here,for i let her do this.Had i read the BB,i would have automatically seen where she has changed things and done things her way not AA.Yes she is sober.However ,she assumed that because she was my sponsor,that she then had every right to make decisions,important,ones for me.And of course this is her own illness,playing into this belief she has.I let her go....
