Oh no!! I'm so sorry this is happening. I would definitely keep your connection and maybe your rolls will reverse. This could be a time where you could be the person for him to lean on. I think it would be hard but a good idea for you to look for a temporary sponsor for your needs and support. This is a very big stress on you and it's very important to keep sobriety in check. I don't think you have any need to hide the fact that you're working with a temp. It's understandable under these circumstances.

My sponsor is also bipolar and is about to switch meds because medicare won't cover her preferred choice. She is very anxious and afraid she might go manic or have to go to the hospital. If that happens I won't go to her as a sponsor because I know she needs to use all her time on herself. With her blessing I plan to use a temporary. I think she can tell me some ppl in AA who know she's bipolar and are familiar with the situation. I think this is selfless and gives me a chance to pay it back.
