I think that's fantastic! Figuring out what was best for me and then taking action to make it happen was a huge part of my recovery and growth. One day I just realized I was doing it all the time, naturally. If it's time to move on, I move on.
I did leave my first sponsor. She helped me in many ways, but there came a time when I believed it was not working any longer. That's all that mattered - that I felt it was time to move on. No wrong, no right - just a choice. If it turned out I needed to make another choice, I make that one, too, and so on.
Now that I share my life with others, instead of looking for them to tell me how to lead it, I have deeper friendships - the most important one being with myself.
