I cant be sober and happy on fellowship and meetings alone. Action is necessary.

Glad to hear you attend and enjoy your daily meeting. You have a sponsor?
Yeah that's right isn't it. I've been through this before, but I started writing on the steps again. I've never had much luck getting a sponsor proper and when I have it didn't work at all. But there are people I talk to a lot, one guy in particular who I chat on the phone with and an older lady who I'm in touch with every day and who is very supportive.
