Sorry - in answer to your question, i do have a sponsor, but unfortunately he has gone awol and relapsed. I'm not sure if it will continue.
He's pretty laid back and is cool with my higher power being non-supernatural. He's a big book person, if you know what i mean, but it hasn't caused any problems between us. He's very literal about the big book though and considers it to be perfect.
Steps-wise, we were working towards them, i feel i have a solid step one, and step two and three are ok with me too - with AA as my higher power, i believe AA can help me, and i'm willing to trust the program and do what it takes (except believing in imaginary friends that is!). That's as far as we got (and up to "we agnostics" in our book study) before he disappeared.
That chapter is particularly difficult for me, as it is for most of us unbelievers i guess, as i posted in the thread about it, over in the secular 12st forum!
