If her recovery is going well, perhaps she's feeling some kind of anxiety with your phone calls that make her feel stress, which is not a good place for a recovering addict, as they previously would have used/drank to escape the stress? I think you should agree to her "boundary" on this one and allow her to make the calls to you. Perhaps her sponsor and she are trying something new. Just ride it out for a while and see if the weekly, neutral conversations actually improve your relationship even more-this would be my suggestion. It may not always be weekly, but for now it is a request from an adult woman.
When my daughter moved out of my house (to college) I had to learn to respect her boundaries as well. She wanted to be an adult, and not feel childlike every time she talked with her mama-LOL. I let her make the calls to me when she wanted to talk, and they now are pretty regular and wonderful! And welcome to SR, Cookie! It's a great place for us moms to share and get support
