Great share. My sponsor didn`t do it for me. They never assigned homework. They supported me on my journey and where there for me when I needed them. I had several sponsors over the years, some co-sponsor, service sponsor, spiritual adviser, and it didn`t come from just one person. Some I grew with, others I out grew because they were happy with where they were, while I have always had a thirst and a desire to guidance, change, and grow. This is a one day at a time program. All we can do is do the best we can in today, some days we fall short. Some days we exceed all our expectations, and other times, we can see no growth, and yet to others, they can see the change.

I had to remain teachable. I had to be willing to forgive (had a couple of sponsors who used me for their Higher Good), willing to be open to other concepts other than my own, and even if they had a different belief than mine, didn`t mean they were wrong. I had to get honest, not only with them but with myself.
