Why the caps? I'd take any sponsor who's actually worked the program
over a co-dependent sponsor who hasn't.

My first sponsor had a sponsor, and yet he relapsed after something
like 3 weeks of working with me. My next sponsor had once had a
sponsor but he moved away. I'm glad I didn't pass him by on the basis
of him having no current sponsor, 'cos he was exactly the right person
to help me recover.

I drank alone But it's true to say I would go to any lengths to
find the next store that would supply booze.
