While my sponsor wanted me to reach out daily she did not require or have any set rules. I did call her everyday but many times it went to VM or it was a brief five minute conversation unless something was going on with my sobriety or life that I needed help with.

I have never heard anyone demand that I tell them anything and even before my fifth step my sponsor made it clear I did not have to speak with her, I could go to a pastor or someone else that I trusted.

It took me a long time to trust and I would have ran for the hills if she demanded to know all about me in the first week.

My sponsor has never judged me or made me feel bad about anything I have done while drinking or while sober. She is has always been there to help me sort out my feelings and actions, not to judge me on them.
