Having a sponsor has been invaluable to me. We no longer have Alanon in our little town, but I am blessed to have a sponsor who is black belt AA
and Alanon (I qualify for both programs).
That being said, I am female, and my sponsor is male. There have been periods of
years where I was the only female in recovery in my little town, and for me, having a sponsor of the opposite sex has created no problems whatsoever. He is happily married, and has never steered me wrong in my recovery.
He has a rock solid program, and has been consistent in how he works it over the past 22 years I have known him. I have seen him struggle, grow, and benefit from recovery, and that is something I admire in him.
He definitely has what I want in recovery, and to me, that is a must in seeking out a sponsor.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or just want to talk one-on-one.
