WTG, Outcast_of_RGaol! Day 4 is a big deal.

I know we're not supposed to talk AA here, but after today's noon meeting a young guy approached me & asked me to be his sponsor. I told him I wasn't the type of sponsor who would tell him how to live his life, or how, when, or if he will work the 12 Steps. While many in AA would consider me a heretic, I just want to be a trusted friend who will be there for him in times of need. I sometimes think controlling people in the program run folks out of AA with their "iron fist" approach to sponsorship. It just felt good that he asked me...& sponsoring helps me in my program, as well.
