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)

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.
