I have run backround checks on people who were potentially going to be involved in my life and have access to me etc. I think it makes sense. Like for someone I was dating.
I read your threads for a long time. There is always drama. Find a sponsor who is solid and calm and doesn't have time for drama, so you won't keep getting distracted.
I had a drama sponsor and it was all over the place, then I got an old timer who was not easily flustered, and my real work began. Someone who doesn't take the up and down behavior of a newly sober person personally.
