Honesty
I have been honest with my sponsees (and sponsor!) about the hard times I've had and difficulties I have faced. In doing so, I share not only once with my sponsor, but three more times with my sponsees. While helping myself by talking about my experiences and actions (or lack of action), I am also helping my sponsees by showing them that one can go through dark times without drinking. With the help of the tools laid at my feet and a bit of willingness, I can maintain my concious contact with God and move ahead to the next thing in front of me.
