I went to my sponsor's monthly women's support group today. She told me and several others we were having problems with longterm sobriety because we have drinking friends. True, none of my close friends here abstain. She went further to say she would not work with us if we did not ride ourselves of close, drinking friends, that they are at root of our trouble.
I am stunned at this. I know some in AA this purest but I would find it difficult. It has been strange day, my T was full of similar directives.
I feel sad but more confused.
