There are other AA members in my church so when I am not there there are people who will set up, etc. I miss a few meetings a month to take my mother to her appts. and there are always people happy to step in.

My sponsor said to pray about it and make my own decision, but she has made it clear she is against my going. She has also said a few times that if a person isn't interested in listening to their sponsor maybe they are not willing to go to any lengths. Things like that. So I feel that if I do choose to go she will no longer care to sponsor me.
