Thank you Fred! Fellowship is why I want to stay with AA also. I have a brand-new sponsor and I did tell her today that I was going to start smart recovery I'm not sure how she's going to feel about it and I told her if she didn't want to sponsor me that was fine maybe I don't need a sponsor right now. I'm curious to know how well she is going to respond though because she's also A counselor. I'd like to have her as a friend and also her insight and help with the fellowship of AA but I'm also really excited about starting Smart recovery and having the cross talk that's not allowed in AAA
