pressure from my sponsor

Hi,

I am on day 6 and starting to feel better. I went to my first AA meeting on Sunday. We only have one meeting a week on the island and the nearest daily meetings are over a 3 three hour round trip away. I am trying to hang on to my job (which I love) but I have pushed my managers to the brink over the last few months. I can't take that kind of time of everyday but my sponsor is getting very aggressive with, she says I am not showing the neccessary commitment. I am, in addition to weekly meetings, reading a lot of literature, increasing my excercise, eating better, doing yoga and spending time on here. I am feeling positive and motivated but the pressure my sponsor is putting on me is really starting to stress me, she says that if I don't do the 90 meetings in 90 days I am pretty much doomed to fail but I just can't take that kind of time out of my day with both work and an 8 year old son (single mum).
I'd be grateful for your opinions.
Thanks guys,
Mac
