NO
Be careful.
I got into a very terrible situation by doing everything my sponsor told me to do...I was so miserable I wanted to kill myself. I was ordered to come off all my anti depressants cold turkey. I was not allowed to take claritin for my allergies or drink caffeine. She wouldn't even let me talk to my family or go to the church I wanted to go to--I had to go to her church and I had to clear it with her if I wanted to talk to my father and read off a script. It was SUPER weird.
Sponsors are guides and give suggestions. That's it.
The answer is NO NO NO NO NO. Run for the hills.
