Tonight is Al-Anon night again. For the third week in a row, I’m going feeling like I need to ask someone to be my sponsor. Also for the third week in a row, I know I’ll probably chicken out.
I have someone picked out. I’m not sure why I think she’d be a good sponsor. I know she’s been in the program for 8 years. I know that her alcoholic is sober. I know that she is serious about the program and seems to do a lot of reading about recovery.
But what if I ask and she says no? I’ll be so embarrassed. I’ve considered other people in this group, but I always come back to this same woman.
The only thing I haven’t done is pray about it. Maybe I should give it another week.

When I asked my sponsor it kind of spilt out. i had someone else in mind but then it was so obvious to me that the person who I was speaking to could be the sponsor for me.
