Bama, what you old sponsor told you is so true. Many of us have had to go through relapses in order to get where we are today. Remember what you have learned from them. They are a gift to you. Each of us are giving a gift and it is up to us to share that gift with others as we walk along our journey. Doesnt it seem kind of odd your old sponsor being there out of the blue right when you were there. hmmmmmmmm. Things strangle do happen and they happen for a reason. She was to tell you what you needed to hear at that time and for her it was to continue to spread the word of hope we all have for being clean, 12 step work. I am happy for you that you have been giving the chance to have your eyes opes so you may see and the ears opened so you may hear. May you be watched over and remember to pass on what you have learned. Like the say, you have to pass it on in order to keep it. Makes so much sense to me know. Sharing what we know with others.
