Yoikes.

I'd check out some other groups and spend some time listening to and talking to older, sober members before picking a new sponsor. Assuming you want to keep giving AA a go.

My first sponsor was a micromanager. I can see that that was an approach that she needed from her sponsor so that's how she wanted to sponsor others. Not for me.

I had to cut ties with someone who became quite militant with me about working the program etc.

AA has a lot of sick people. Not all of them have good recovery. I try to find and focus on the ones who do, and be a little wary of those who latch onto me very quickly. I keep people at arms length for a good long while and never get too buddy buddy with anyone. You never know when/if crazy is going to surface.
