So, I've been in between sponsors for the last few months...a couple of weeks ago (38 days to be exact) I decided that it wasn't working for me being sponsorless, and began my hunt. Though I'm one of those 'females with trust issues' I know that trying to get through all this without help just aint gonna cut it.
So, I started a new sponsor search. I changed up my meetings, because I knew I'd never find anybody if I didn't. As God would have it, I ended up at a Sunday Morning Gratitude meeting two weeks ago, where my fiance spoke (he does that alot...and I LOVE hearing him! He carries such a great message of hope!).
Anyways, I ended up at this meeting on a Sunday in the wee hours of the morning. It's a fairly small meeting as compared to most here in the San Fernando Valley...maybe 25 or 30 people. Towards the end of the meeting, one of the girls comes up to me and hands me a Meeting Dirctory - and on the back of it were the phone numbers of every single female that was in the Room.
I sat there in total amazement, because something like this normally doesn't happen!
For once I decided to do something that makes me very uncomfortable, and actually USE those phone numbers. And I'm so so glad that I did, because I found my new sponsor on that list!
She called me this morning to remind me that the Sister meeting is tonight. This is something new that she's starting. Me, my 4 sponsee sisters, and my new sponsor...all gettin' our Recovery on together!
I'm excited! I've only met one of my sponsee sisters so far, and I've only had a sponsor officially for 3 days...so to wake up and get a phone call saying that all these girls are excited about meeting ME, well I gotta tell ya, it's an AWSOME way to start the day!
