Hi Astro
I do not believe in doorknobs either!! no offense Doorknob
Really I am now glad that I do not have a sponsor, I focus 100% of my AA activity on staying sober which I think is the best policy. For every person I see who claims HP keeps them sober, I see 7 or more crushed by addiction despite their HP.
I do not know the exact percentage but the basic fact is 7 out of 10 addicted people are never going to be sober no matter what they use.
This percentage may even be higher.
I work in the accounting office of a Rehab, I see the numbers.
What I believe is that people working together can do what they can not do alone.

I'm sure you'll eventually find a sponsor that has what you want, but how will you "come to believe" if you have nothing at all to believe in? How about a doorknob as is sometimes suggested?
I'll be interested to hear what others have to say. Interesting topic!
