Question by Sally: should married people have married sponsors in 12 step programs?
my husband is a sex addict who has started a 12 step sex addiction recovery program. i think his sponsor is not a good match – he is middle aged and never-married, and has no idea what marriage is supposed to be like. he encourages my husband to be secretive, not heed my needs, assert himself with me and assert that “his recovery comes first”, and completely ignore me. anyone else had any such experiences with sponsors being detrimental to the relationship (maybe AA folks)? i think married sponsees should have married sponsors.
