Wow. When you miss one week it seems like a long time when you finally get back to CR, but when you miss a couple weeks, like I did, it seems like a lifetime. But coming back to people who care and feeling God's love is a wonderful balm to our hurts.
Everytime I hear the teaching on sponsor's I catch something I didn't hear before and it helps me understand a sponsors role. The first time I heard the teaching I was very confused. I didn't completely understand the difference between a sponsor and an accountability partner. But I approached someone to be my sponser and it has worked out great. Approaching someone to be an accountability partner was a little different thoug. I don't know why, I guess because I didn't understand, at the time why I needed them.
Then when I was doing the 12 steps my sponser and accountability partners became even more important. I began to understand, a little more, the "why" behind the need for them.
Then in sponsor training, it was like a curtain lifting. I had taken notes on sponsors during the first teaching. During the 12 steps we had been taught the importance, and I still couldn't grasp the concept. But going thru the 12 steps and the sponsor training and then the teaching last night, I feel I have come full circle and I understand. Yay me.
I felt a connection with my sponsor the first night I came to CR. I have been thru the 12 steps and I have overcome some issues, and I still struggle sometimes. But God has revealed to me some other ones that I need to work on. Just like Laura said would happen. Thanks Laura.
But now I know I can overcome anything. I may still deny some things, but God will not let me do it for long.

Reminders
Just wanted to remind everyone of two things!!
1. Cookbook!
-Lets get all our recipes in asap! We need to represent CR well (considering that it was our idea to have the cookbook in the first place)! So get them in and remind others along the way!
2. Afterglow
-Also, don't forget where you'll be this Sunday night! AT CHUTCH! CR is having an afterglow and we want (and need) you there!
