I am going to be going through the same thing here soon. I am moving across country. I went with my sponsor to the jail last night and I was talking to her about it all, of course I will keep her as my sponsor till I can find someone else in Ohio to replace her, but she believes that I need a sponsor that lives in the same place as I do. It really kind of stinks, I am really close to my sponsor and she helped me be the person I am today. Of course, I believe that the move is something that my higher power has in store for me. More will be revealed.
