My sponsor is 25 years sober, you should see him when this guy comes to the meetings i used to go in Spain who has 40 years sobriety...its like my sponsor is all fresh faced and new again...how cool is that:-)
I found it very important in early recovery (earlier recovery lol) to really vet who i listened to, i found it difficult actually and i was very lucky to have my sponsor who filtered all the crap for me because there is a lot of it about...we are all very sick people until we change y'know and although sometimes our heart is in the right place the advice we give to another can literally kill them...buyer beware i guess;-)
I know Toronto won't mind me saying this but for me i have nothing to learn anymore from someone with 6 hours or days as far as sobriety goes but that certainly doesn't mean that they might not have something else to share that may definitely get me thinking...i hope that comes across as it is meant...
