`I think it is up to the sponsee to telephone the sponsor, when the sponsee thinks he/she is ready to talk. Sponsoorship is a two way relationship, and supports both parties.
Remember, we are responsible for own own decisions and choices, the sponsor is only a sounding board. I am responsible to choose my own decisions and choices, that way if I get it wrong, the mistake is my learning process.

How often would you like to receive calls if you sponsored someone. I sponsor a lot of people. I tell ask them to call me at least twice a week. I call my own sponsor twice a week for the last 15 years. (honestly I have missed a few times because of vacations and stuff).

`I don't know about 12 step programs but i do know about giving up things that you love and have had every day for more than a decade, it takes a lot of will power and shows a lot of character within a person to change that life style, what i find best is keeping yourself busy, i go to the gym a lot so by the time i get home i'm too knackered to want to do anything.

`I am looking for someone to be a lifelong facillitator. I need someone who is critical of both 12 step and non 12 step and harm reduction programs. I am knowledgeable about the pros and cons of both. I am poor and find myself dependant on my parents and would like to individuate and become who I am but I can't. I find Meritocratic life promoted in society to be the problem
