First Step

"We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable."

i meet with my sponsor tonight after work to do my first step. it's been a long time coming. i did my homework over a month ago, but i haven't seen her because of travel. each time we talk, she says "pen, if you need to find another sponsor who is there, i will be more than happy to be your friend." i don't feel that is the right thing for me at this time. i feel she is to be my sponsor, regardless of her travel schedule, if she'll have me.

i am nervous as i need to discuss things with her face-to-face that i have not shared with her over the phone.

much easier, methinks, to share things over a cup of coffee.
