However, I haven't taken some people suggestions as far as how to run my program. Four instance - and I know some of you will cringe and want to lecture me - I don't have a sponsor yet. I'm not opposed to it, I'm just doing really really really well and I'm so happy, I just don't want to yet.

Well, some of the "group gurus" have a really all but stopped talking to me because they know this.

It said time and time again, and it's in writing, that the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking.

It just really really agitates me. There is a fine line between giving good advice, and being self-righteous.

Just wanted to get that off my chest.
