I'd also consider looking for a new sponsor who has actual experience in dealing with mental illness. That's why I really like double recovery meetings. They get it, and it's ok to talk about both mental health and addiction in the meetings.

Hang in.

Sponsors are hard to find at my home group. I'd have to go to another group to find one... I'd actually thought about that too. There just aren't any double recovery meetings here. We have one NA meeting that advertises mental illness talk is okay. And my home group is okay with it too. Some groups aren't.
