“Sometimes an over-eager newcomer asks a number of people for advice about a problem or is forever calling up various members to get their views on her troubles. For her there is one good piece of advice: ‘Get yourself one sponsor, and stop confusing yourself by trying to coordinate too many opinions.’” (ODAT, 21 May)
I do best with one sponsor only. The Steps are the Steps, whatever the problem. I can talk to whoever I want, but that’s usually me shopping around for advice I prefer. I don’t tell everyone my business. I tell a couple of people. I don’t need to get a quorum. But ultimately it’s God I have to go to.
