She has a sponsor and is working a program. She tells me what steps her sponsor has her working on and the advice her sponsor gives her.

No one is an expert. No one is "done". I think we all need guidance, from others in the program and from a Higher Power.
Hey Elisabeth...I had a question for you...You've had a sponsor for three years...I'm assuming you worked the steps? And then went out? And what exactly do you mean by your current sponsor doesn't ask you to do anything she is not willing to do or has done herself....Are you working the steps with her? I don't really understand what you mean.
