But, how should I know? What do I know about normal? <BR/><BR/>We ARE a lot of "know-it-alls" on here, and I guess blogs are as good a place as any to unload stuff--I sure do that!<BR/><BR/>But usefly and correct advice is difficult w/o/being eyeball--to--eyeball.<BR/><BR/>When I cooperate with God, chances are, I'll be OK.steveronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498524940140288735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718408640955788516.post-32305522955208090152009-03-30T12:46:00.000-04:002009-03-30T12:46:00.000-04:00Wow, lots going on...I hid my smoking too, I'd bee...Wow, lots going on...I hid my smoking too, I'd been an on and off smoker for years...now I am off...the sponsor thing???? Yah, kinda odd!<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you know what the next step may be for you...I had a strong first sponsor and I had to fire her and get the next sponsor who could more relate to me and I her, it made working the steps a better and stronger commitment for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127343815869529555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718408640955788516.post-26211380372842265992009-03-29T17:35:00.000-04:002009-03-29T17:35:00.000-04:00wow, i haven't called my sponsor in over a week. A...wow, i haven't called my sponsor in over a week. As for you little one and disappointment I know what you feel my oldest cannot play soccer for a week. she is heartbroken. as for the hiding smoking and destructive behavior you are an alcoholic, it is your nature to be self destructive, the key is to be able to see this and then do something about it if you so choose. plus it is soooo normal to be squirelly on your birthday don't even sweat it!! and don't give up on your sponsor, just tell her how you feel, it is your alcoholic inside trying to sabotage the relationship, don't let it. take care..clean and crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156586299182570611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718408640955788516.post-26054280847291277472009-03-29T00:23:00.000-04:002009-03-29T00:23:00.000-04:00we all get down on our self from time to time. don...we all get down on our self from time to time. don't let it eat at you, do something good for you. think of the great things being sober has given you this past year. besides there have not been any hangovers in the past year that's a big bones(me trying to be funny)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652703887907960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1718408640955788516.post-9849203030568262392009-03-28T22:56:00.000-04:002009-03-28T22:56:00.000-04:00The sponsor comment was a little out of left field...The sponsor comment was a little out of left field, no?

I thought she would have been mad but she agreed we had outgrown each other at that time - it wasn't personal. Who knows - a new sponsor may give a refreshing perspective. I'm sure you'll be fine no matter what!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596253451843404461noreply@blogger.com
