I can't do the 5 step without a sponsor
The person who hears your fifth step doesn't have to be a sponsor. They don't even have to be an alcoholic.
I am not anti-sponsor. I am not pro-sponsor. To me it is all about recovery and how to get it, that is the main goal. People can place too much emphasis on sponsors, which makes an individual's recovery contingent upon someone other than themselves.
I was stuck in the revolving door for 10 years. When I held
myself, and only myself accountable for my actions, it took away my ability to point fingers at anyone else. All the fingers pointed at me, even my index finger. At that point, the revolving door jammed open and I walked into recovery and freedom.
