Will miss you CP and thanks for letting us know.
Viv - I am not in AA and don't have a sponsor of any kind but I think if you are thinking it might help you should give it a try (what do you have to lose?).. and maybe like Nans has had happen you will find support and a friend.. From reading around SR it sounds like sponsor-type relationships have happened here.. For me I have tried so many different approaches to sobriety and some work, and some don't - but now my feeling is that it is all worth a try and we each come up with our own "mosaic" of a program and hopefully stay sober.
I really love this forum..
Have been having good journal writing and sobriety reading time lately and feel like it is reinforcing my program a lot..
