Do not Sponsor a Sponsor

Called mine toay and he was in deep depression. So I was like walking him through \ stuff don't think it is how it is too work. But people can have have lots of sober time and still get down.

Yeah I think it should go up the chain of sponsorship not down. When I go issues I call my sponsor and talk about it. I don't talk to it with my sponsee.....except maybe if my sponsee and I are sharing past experience.

Hmmm whenever my sponsor is going through something I tend to know. And whilst he doesn't initiate talking about it I will often see if he will open up a bit and tell me something. He tells me bits and it's all pretty relevant to stuff I have gone and have gone through. I guess I just admire the guys ability to stay so level headed and in touch with the program whilst going through heavy stuff.
