sponsorship

My sponsor said that I now can raise my hand to be a sponsor at meetings now that I have completed all 12 steps. I am super excited to do that and nervous at the same time. I need to give this away to keep it. My sponsor told me to write down all the questions I have on sponsorship and that we would discuss them the next time we talked. I got a call from a newcomer this morning she was only 3 days sober and needed help so I talked to her it felt great to help someone else out. I never get calls so this was great for me.

Hello Anoronha - I have no experience with AA so no idea as to what to suggest.

However, I simply love this sentence. Really makes me smile!!!

I would be nervous to sponsor someone too! Although I can relate with how good it feels to help someone.
