Ah same as Leo here really, my sponsor always supported me 100%. When I had bad urges a while back but weren't in AA anymore I gave her a call and she talked to me. She's a sweet lady. Never been one of those Big Book thumpers anyway to begin with, lol. She just got into AA cuz at the time she got sober it was the only self help group available and well yeah being into a thing for so long makes it really hard to leave. I don't live near her anymore but maybe one day I gather the courage to visit my old town Maastricht again. Then I can ask her for luch or coffee or something.
