I've not been happy with our relationship for a while, so I think when I've calmed down and am feeling a bit more stable, I'll let her know that I appreciate her help, but I feel that the sponser/sponsee relationship no longer feels right for me.
I have a guy who I look upto a lot, who is always there for me and has a lot of time for me. He doesn't like the term 'sponsor', and refers to his 'sponsor' as his 'trusted spiritual advisor. I don't need a sponsor in name do I, as long as I have someone with longtime sobriety who I look up to, talk to and ask for guidance? The name doesn't matter does it?
