Sponsorship - more thoughts

I read today's reading in Hope For Today this morning. It was about sponsorship and how that role plays out in our recovery. Lately I have been turning more to my service sponsor than my program sponsor (although they are actually the same person in my case). My service sponsor helps me with questions I have about the position of District Representative, about questions the fellowship poses to me that I have no idea how to answer, and many other things about Al-Anon.

Every time I'm amazed at how happily she takes my call or reads my email and provides me with thoughtful feedback.

I have also called on the previous DR many times to answer my questions or get history about a particular issue. He too always answers my call or responds to my email.

I'm gearing up for the next Area World Service Committee meeting which is tomorrow. A friend who lives in District 1 will be coming along as their Alternate DR. It will be her first AWSC meeting and hopefully I'll be able to do as her friend what my service sponsors have done for me - answer her questions and encourage her service work tomorrow.

Take care everybody.
