Sugah, Thank You...
I know my original post was harsh but I did it for a reason. If I may explain.....
Life is not black or white. On that I am sure we agree.
Not every alcoholic that has worked the steps of aa are suitable sponsors, yet the advice given to newcomers is to be willing to go to any lengths...do what your sponsor says even if it makes you uncomfortable....Utilize don't analize...stop your stinkin thinkin....You know what I mean, we all read the posts here.
My original post was meant to read like so many black and white statements....
You know the ones..God is or he isn't, a "true" alcoholic can't stop without a higher power...the messages that are given based on the opinion of one man, the messages that become others truth.
Are all sponsors bad? NO of course not.
Are all sponsors good? NO of course not.
I do believe a freedom comes from releasing the past a cleansing of the soul, I think that it is vital in recovery...it is akin to a rebirth, a new beginning.
My point was and remains the same. Hearing anothers confession is a huge responsibility it may not be wise to push people into sharing their inner most thought with someone just because they have worked the steps of aa.
Again thank you
