“You need to have someone with whom you can have unvarnished conversations and who is going to call you on your bull. You need someone who cares but is not affected by you and your problems. We all need someone to help hold us accountable.” - Kevin S.
“For me, there is no way I could possibly rely on only myself and my own way of thinking and remain sober for a long period of time. I need someone to share my thoughts and fears with who can remind me of the best way to respond. I need someone to hold me accountable for my actions and share her own experience, strength, and hope with me rather than judge me.” - Kelli D.
“What was imperative for me was having accountability to someone and being able to own up to all my actions or inactions. I truly wanted what my sponsor had, which was peace and serenity in all circumstances. She never let me off easy and always threw the ball back in my court when I didn’t want to work through a situation and expected her to do it for me. She never dictated anything to me but, with grace and humility, shared her own experience with me. She helped me see myself as God sees me and not as the world does.” - Kathy B.
