What does your sponsor say about how you feel?

Don't get me wrong, I've found a lot of good in AA, but having read the big book through a few times, the 12 and 12 and a bunch of other sobriety literature, I really don't need nor want cliches.

At times I feel like I'm dealing with robots.
That's great, now tell me what your sponsor says about how you feel.....
