Question about knowing when a person is ready to be a speaker at a meeting.
I have a person who keeps asking for me to set them up as a speaker at meetings in my state, in which they do not live in. But they are somewhat new to recovery about ten months. Also I do not know how far they are in their step work. I know being a speaker at a meeting is 12th step work. I feel uncomfortable with this and don't know what to say to them. I have always thought a speaker at meeting are usally ask to speak or suggested by thier sponser. Not volunteer theirself, or at least not when they are early in recovery. Also with them being out of state don't know how reliable they would be about showing up. I just really feel uncomfortable and I don't want to offend them or discourage them with their recovery. What should I do or tell them?
