New Sponsor

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.
