Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to take a drink since
8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely grateful.

I have found that from practical
experience nothing will so much
insure immunity from drinking as
intensive work with another alcoholic.


What do you think?


Sponsorship held two surprises for me.
First, that my sponsees cared about
me. What I had thought was gratitude
was more like love. They wanted me
to to be happy, to grow and remain
sober. Knowing how they felt kept me
from drinking more than once.

Second I discovered that I was able
to love someone else responibly, with
respectful and genuine concern for
people's growth. Before that time, I
had thought that my ability to care
sincerely about another's well being
had wasted away from lack of use.

To learn that I can love, without greed
or anxiety, has been one of the deepest
gifts the program has given me.

Graditude for that gift has kept me sober
many times.


Thanks for letting me share.
