I would suggest that if your sponsor is not conducive to your sobriety, then looking for another sponsor is acceptable. The people in the AA program are just that, people. You will not be able to relate to everyone just like any other situation. Getting another sponsor doesn't mean that you are doing it "your way", especially if you continue to work the steps and continue to move forward in your sobriety.

Further, it is a healthy step forward to set boundaries and to communicate your feelings. One of the reasons that an alcoholic drinks, me especially, is that we lack the tools to communicate our feelings. We end up drinking to forget, to put off something, to ignore something or to cope with something. We let things build up and then comes the wreckage we create.

All that being said it sounds to me like you are working a good program. I look forward to hearing more about your journey to sobriety and congratulations on your 32 days!
