What kind of sponsor do you have?
Curious to hear about others' experiences.
I have a Big Book Sponsor (Hyannis Method). She's been sober 39 years. She's very strict with me but that is good because I need it.
She has me reading pages 84-88 out of the big book each morning, then reciting the 3rd and 7th step prayers, and 20 minutes of meditation.
I call her every morning at 7:15am sharp.
I run any "ideas" I have by her. Usually she tells me she's going to smack me and that my ideas are crap and to shut up and follow her directions.
I have to attend 4 meetings a week - two must be big book meetings.
I'm writing my 4th step right now.
I have to do something nice for someone and not get found out - on a daily basis.
When I'm antsy she tells me to scrub a toilet or do the dishes. She's not a "bubble bath sponsor" - she'll tell me to stop my self pity and get out of my head and go help someone but she'd never tell me to take a hot bath, order chinese, and get my nails done lol.
She's saved my a$$ so many times. I'd be lost without her.
