I have had many sponsors over the years, many I outgrew or they chose to travel a path that wasn't compatible with my recovery journey. I have had Native women as a co-sponsor since I came into recovery. I had a service sponsor and an Al-Anon sponsor, who I ended up sponsoring prior to her passing away. It was so important for me to have a strong support group. I needed someone I could relate to. I needed someone who had something I wanted and couldn't find within myself. I saw them walking their talk and when they stopped or chose to use other substance and substituted them for their drug of choice, I saw them as still using and not clean. A drug is a drug, no matter what form it takes.
