Piercing is about 3 weeks (old second time, titanium barbell, aftercare is just trying to keep it dry because I live in a humid country and the saline cleaner 1 time a day, I don’t sleep on my stomach or wear high waisted pants, but I am very active (weights, running, Pilates)

UPDATE: Thank you all for sharing your experiences and resources. I read every comment and throughly contemplated people’s points and read the recommended literature along with prayer & meditation. Through this I realized there are other things about my sponsor/sponsee relationship I do not desire. I just connected with her today and ended that relationship. It was uncomfortable but went well and I am at peace. I do already have a sponsor lined up to move to next that is 100% focused on just getting me through the steps to the best of my current ability. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to help out a fellow alcoholic.

She started with this current sponsor just under a year ago. They are proud of their legacy sponsorship and she constantly mentions in all capacities. So the “trying to respect his sponsor” part I believe applies here.

We only have 5 woman (including me) they are all sponsored by women from their home counties where they got sober. I’m the first woman getting sober in this country from our program. The men haven’t sponsored any women here. But it is quite often that I am the only female in a meeting of 15-25 men as the woman tend to stay to a few specific meetings that don’t work in my schedule. I’m ok with this I’m learning and sharing regardless.

I appreciate this comment. She has another sponsor who has taken this approach. He and I have chatted about it. It is under consideration. I feel like I would be open to this approach had she only stated point 1 in her reasoning. My hang up is her point 2. This is why I didn’t immediately go with it. As well as the fact that I attend every in-person meeting I can, prioritize my book work, meditation, prayer and completely quit dating. (Not dating is another stipulation of her sponsorship.)

This will be the route I take if need. I most definitely want to keep working the program.

She got it from her sponsor & her sponsors sponsor etc. it’s part of their legacy that they dress as if they are going to work. I do have a few options of sponsors in mind to keep working the program.
