Well Cappa, sponsors are recovering addicts you know. sometime life on life terms gets in the way of other things. so sponsee brothers, and members of your home group , 10th step partners and other relations out-side the fellowship is very important. that's why we as addicts must stay plugged-in and (GOD) is the ultimate authority .and we shall continue to be gratiful for this spiritual program.one can only give what they are allowed to give and nothing more. through experience, strength, and hope. or he maybe in the need of a personal visit, not as his sponsee, but as a concerned friend. because we do estabish close, and loving relationships with our sponsors. remember unity is a must,he may well need your support. but pride , and or ego won't allow him to reach out to you . but one addict helping another is with out parellel. yes staying clean , and sober must come first. but as you stay in this process of recovery you know that the only way to keep what you have you must give it away. So hopefully you and he have layed your foundation, and your spiritually fit to make possibly a 12 step call.to help bring him back to the world of recovery. And then we all maybe just over reacting , and he may just need some special quiet time for prayer , mediation, and deliverance he may have a few issues that he is working-on with a sponsor. do you have a grand-sponsor if so go to him and share your concerns.there could be a crisis ,or ill-ness in the family but you want know until you go.
