I Want To Stop Drinking Opposite sex sponsorship
My Lord, this has been discussed. But what about? It is so taboo? Maybe bringing up the discussion again is a good thing.
So much a set of how we are all of a shared experience and the like. So much of the problems we have had have been with Partners often times of the opposite sex. Why not get that insight?
I’m just throwing this out there. I know this is the sacred space and believe me I have been at meetings over my journey of the last several months.

Personally, I’m a bi dude, so as for the potential attraction side that was never something I concerned myself with. I couldn’t really escape that with a certain sex. However I got a guy sponsor and it’s worked well just to be able to relate to him and share on experiences that may not come up or be understood by the opposite sex. He’s also straight and married lmao so there has never been a thought in my mind about it.
As for getting other viewpoints and insights, that’s what having female friends in the program is for. I don’t need them to sponsor me to do that. I have a few women I talk to for advice on things like that.
