Re: what\'s better?

What's up with your sponsor? Is this typical? (I'm being genuine here, I really didn't realize they have this much control over who you interact with) [/ QUOTE ] Well there's a few different schools of thought on sponsorship. The particular group I'm affiliated with right now has a tradition of very strong sponsorship. They feel that one of the keys to working a program is to take direction without questioning it. My sponsor is probably actually considered the most lax in the group. The other school of thought on sponsorship is that the sponsor tells the sponsee what he did in a similar situation, and how he took the twelve steps, and the sponsee decides for himself.

Re: what\'s better?
Is this lady friend from the same school of thought on sponsorship? My first thought was that she just really didn't understand what you were getting at. It sounds like you and your sponsor - well, actually just your sponsor, because you haven't given much detail about your own, independent thinking - think that she's actively or passively trying to subvert you.

Eh, I like the Stranger, his posts are usually on target and not the garden variety uselessness that most of OOT is. I say let's stay on target here. [/ QUOTE ] I though the other thread was much better than this one. This is garden variety QLC.

Re: what\'s better?
No way dude, the girl he likes is now dating his best friend, and his sponsor told him to severe contact with the girl.
He's still got feelings for her. This is quality. Reminds me of Melrose Place in real life.
