With all due respect, I have had sponsors (yes, that is plural) who were control freaks.

I once had a sponsor who shamed me because I refused to walk up in front of 100 people and read something. She told me I had no excuse for that considering another woman had walked across the room to ask me to do this.

I told her that I have panic disorder and quite frankly that was between me and my psychiatrist. I cannot read in front of people without having a panic attack and it's not something I feel the need to do. I fired her shortly thereafter.

I think people need to think for themselves and do whatever is in the interest of their sobriety.
