Thankfully, my need for people pleasing has greatly diminished over the years. One area that's not shown it at all is sponsorship. I grateful that's the case, for were I to try to please my sponsees, I'd be doing them a great disservice. My responsibility is to be honest with them, even if it's something they don't want to hear. I like the friendships that have developed with my sponsees, but they are inherently different from the other friendships in my life. We are in relation for a single purpose and that is to achieve and maintain sobriety through working together in this program of action. The friendship that surrounds that single purpose is wonderful and special, but the single purpose is foremost in priority. What a treat to be sponsored and to sponsor! Life is good.
