Sponsees
Regardless how hard we try some of our sponsees will not stay sober. On the other hand some sponsees will ignore all of our advice, work the program “ass backwards” if at all and will stay sober despite our repeated warnings to the contrary. In either case, if we were conscientious in our efforts with her are not at fault. It is after all the grace of God and not us that sobers the alcoholic. If we managed to stay sober while working with other alcoholics our efforts have been a success.
