Article 4 – “How do you best use your sponsor?” R5 Intergroup Writing Series

I talk to my “main”  sponsor once a week and I bring to her what has been issues for the week as well as high points. We continue to grow with each other. Sometimes we will read from literature and sometimes I will discuss issues that are bothering me and she will ask me what Step am I working on. She shares ideas with me and gently reminds me to forgive myself and helps me find confidence in my problem solving. This is one of my sponsors. I also have a food sponsor who I send my food and gratitude list to. My main sponsor has a very strict food plan and she felt it was too difficult to take my food. My food plan is much more flexible and so I got a food sponsor who has a more flexible plan. This has been great for me.
