I had written a blog before saying that my sponsor had relapsed, but he managed to use the manipulating addict mind, to manipulate my manipulating mind. Turns out, he lied to me, lied to everyone including his tough ass sponsor, who will hopefully become mine. No one knows exactly the full truth, what to believe or not. He had left home and went and was staying with his pill pushing son, so I know that is no good. Yesterday he did not show up to the meeting, so those of us who care for him were quite upset by it. I talked to his sponsor at the end of the meeting when everyone else had left.  He asked me if i had noticed any changes with my ex-spons, so I told him what I saw. That I noticed that for about the past month I had noticed that his eyes had changed, they were not the big bright eyes they were, they have the more chilled out "ive been using look". I told him that this all could just be my imagination, but he then told me that is what he had noticed also and I was not wrong. Im sure he has other reasons to believe he is using. I first started really believing it when someone who I work with, who is roommates with his son came to me one day and told me "things are not always as they seem" When I pondered he told me that (lets call him papa smurf) papa smurf had come over a few nights earlier and "got down on half a big guy" I knew exactly what he was talking about and I am sure you all do too. I didnt want to believe it, but then really analyzing him at the next meeting I looked into his eyes again and knew what I thought was right. My clear eyes were not playing tricks on me. So I am almost certain that papa smurf is using again and it just kind of sucks. I have gotton over the whole worry about myself stuff dealing with this. I am now just concerend with papa smurf, hoping he is being safe and nothing bad happens. I had called him yesterday, left him a nice message and all, but still a day later, nothing back. So yup I am concerned. I hope that I will see him outside the meeting when I pull up smoking a butt as usual and I can join him, and that he will be honest with me. I have told him lots of stuff since he had been my sponsor, I really think he owes me some honesty. Our relationship is based on trust and how can I even remain friends with someone who I know is a complete liar, and wont own up to one of his closest friends. So that all sucks but I will keep him in my thoughts and hopefully hear from him tomorrow and see him at the meeting. On a positive note, I got to hang out with a special friend last night who I hadnt seen in a long time now and it really made me happy and helped get the whole other drama out of my head. Really meant a lot to me and hope to see this person again soon because they made me feel so much better about everything just being there. I am grateful to have good people in my life and I want to keep them there!

The meeting I was at last night was a big book meeting and we were reading about sponsors.  One of the things someone said was that sponsees need to remember that a sponsor is still an addict.  They may use us to help themselves stay sober etc but all in all they are stil laddicts and only a step away from using...just like us.  With that said i think I would be hurt, upset, and a few other things if my sponsor began using.   Hopefully he will come back to you guys when he is ready.

Glad you got tp hang out with a special friend :)

Hugs,

Jenn
