Some people living in one day at a time recovery who found the recovery in the rooms of recovery live with a reality which is we cannot be your sponsors. The reason why is because your problems burn a hole in the very core of our beings and your egos are still dictating that you are in complete control of everything and everyone. Besides we don’t have the time to witness the deconstruction of your egos because our time is valuable and taming the ego can be a very difficult thing to watch. If you could only learn to listen and let go of your old ideas some of which are you need to let go and believe whole-heartedly that you are not God. When you no longer take offense to every criticism or direction that differentiates from your own egoic desires you are teachable. Now the journey begins. You discover reality and reality teaches you what one day at a time recovery is all about. It’s an everyday experience and no – we cannot be your sponsors. You are now our teachers. Peace.
