I'm pretty sure that without the guidance of my original sponsor, I would never have stopped drinking and would likely have died from alcoholism. I'm also fairly certain that without having sponsored the alcoholics that I have over the past 28 years, that the quality of the life I live would not be as enriched as it has been.
I often tell the Little Johnny joke about sponsorship. Little Johnny was having trouble with math so he told his teacher. In response, his teacher gave him more math homework. I told God that I was having trouble with patience, so God gave me people to sponsor. And so, I learned Patience, and Tolerance, and Forgiveness. They don't always take my direction, but then I did not always take the direction of my sponsor. I still thought I knew what was best for me.
