Without the details there's no way to respond to the question.

Given this scenario would it be a reasonable request from the sponsor:

Sponsee has attempted sobriety before and failed. He works hard all week, attends meetings regularly, spends all day Sunday with the family, but every time he's relapsed it's been on a Saturday as that was his big drinking day in the past. Sponsor suggests he hangs out with him all day on Saturdays until he gets some time (and the steps) under his belt.

Not saying this is what is happening...could be a sponsor on a power trip, but if you take the scenario I made up all of a sudden the sponsor seems like a pretty virtuous guy who is very generous with his time. Without knowing the people and circumstances involved there's no way to form a fair opinion.

And then the alcoholic in me has a small part wondering if the husband in this scenario is really meeting with his sponsor for 15 hours on a Saturday.
