McGowdog--You kindly offered and were turned down for good reasons.
I am sorry if I misunderstood, but are you part of any other fellowship than AA? I had the impression that you felt I should not be part of AA (because I have always been a teetotaller except when high on crack). I thought that you were probably right and that my sponsor should be part of NA, CA, or CMA.
Also, from what people are saying here and in other threads, a sponsor should have a more personal relationship with a sponsee. If it were just about the steps I think a long distance sponsorship would be okay. (The guy who says he will sponsor me when I get to step four is also long distance.) But from what people are saying here it should be someone I can speak to regularly by phone and face-to-face.
I thought it was odd when you said "No hard feelings" because I could not see any reason why you would have hard feelings. But this post makes me think that there is some way I offended you or some resentment that you have.
I am sorry if I said anything hurtful to you.
