I do not really see myself as a "newcomer" anymore. I don't know if "newcomer" has a set definition....I just post on this section because I'm comfortable with the people here.
Yep, lots to clarify there. Presumably, he would use the word sponsor as it is meant in AA. Hope he can be a good friend, and perhaps you will find that AA is indeed a good addition to your sober life.
