Just had my first meeting with C____ (my new sponsor). We just sat and drank coffee and talked for 2 hours about where I'm at right now and got caught up with each other on where we're at in our recovery right now. It went great! I feel like I have a sponsor again: someone to guide me, teach me, and someone I can confide in. I have been lacking that feeling for so long and towards the end of my sponsorship with S____ I felt like I was sponsoring him. It's my own fault for placing him on a pedestal though and I have to remember that he's only human and he's just another addict like me trying to stay clean. It's time for me to move on though and let it -- and him -- go.
What I really feel good about too is that C____ gave me some clear cut directions: phone call every day, meeting every day. And we're going to meet again every Thursday from here on out. I have a really good feeling about this. Next week we're going to go over my Steps 1 and 2 and he said I can continue to work out of the Step Working Guide. It seems like just what I needed in a sponsor. I'm glad God placed him in my life at just the right time. I know I absolutely cannot do this alone.
