If he is not interested in your
solution, if he expects you to act only as a banker for his financial
difficulties or a nurse for his sprees, you may have to drop him until he
changes his mind. This he may do after he gets hurt some more. Big Book,
p95
Letting someone go is very difficult for me. I have to remember that
my time is valuable too. When sponsees stand me up regularly for appointed
meetings, without a phone call, or when they repeatedly take phone calls from
their friends while 12th stepping, etc. Then there are times where I hear the
same sob story over and over and over. I sometimes have to stop everything and
ask them to study the book and come back when they are sincere. I can't help
another person if it is not a priority for them.
Thank you Higher
Power. Thank you for daily discernment. I pray that if I can't help anyone
today, please don't let me hurt anyone. Thank you.
