Glad to hear you are going to call your sponsor as well, alcohol humbled me in a manner that I have never been humbled before, no matter how hard I fought it or tried to control it it systematically destroyed my spirit, it was the first thing in my life I ever met that my will alone could not overcome! Alcohol was the first thing I ever surrendered to which convinced me that I needed to find some power greater then my will alone to help me solve my problem.
Getting a sponsor and being willing to follow suggestions was a huge part of the humbling process for me.
One thing so many people get confused is the difference between humbled and humiliation, I was never humiliated, I was given the experience, strength, and hope that my sponsor had been given when he took the steps. He was firm with me when needed, but having been in my shoes he was compassionant as well.
