I've had a lot of court-ordered guys who have to attend 2, 3 or more meetings per week.

I haven't done whatever that person does from 8am to 11pm but I'd bet if I had a sponsee willing to put that type of commitment into their recovery, they'd be done with steps 1-5 in one day - maybe the first 8. Maybe it's a much better way then letting the sponsee pick what they think they should do and getting nowhere in the first 6 months......or longer. Contempt prior to investigation - I haven't been part of that person's Saturday deal so I can't say whether it's working or helpful......or not.
