As a sponsor my job is to guide you through the steps, yanno, show you precisely how I recovered. Yanno, real life applications to the underlying spiritual principles, because life isn't going to change, but through a course of action my perspective on it can be changed to the point where I never have to have another drink or drug again.
Excellent point in the highlighted text. But when it comes to feelings, my sponsor cares, and i care about my sponsees feelings. And we talk about them. I'm not a therapist, but i sure will listen to someone explain where they're at emotionally and process that, in addition to showing them how i got through a similar situation without drugs or alcohol, and how the steps have changed my perspective on life.
