So I asked a woman in my home group to be my new sponsor today. We're about the same age, but she has 10 years sobriety, but really struggled with sobriety at first and had a lot of the same issues around the higher power concept that I'm struggling with. She also fully supports me being in rehab, and has no objection to the fact that I'm on meds.

She seems to have a really good program, and is clearly happy in her sobriety.

I think she'll be a better fit than my old sponsor who objected to meds, didn't want me in rehab and didn't get my relapsing.

I'm feeling pretty good about this - now I just have to find a way to tell my old sponsor that I have to move on.
