She offered to be my sponsor, and urged me to call at any time of day.
She is my lifeline for now, but ......Maybe A&R readers can help me with this......We have friends/relationships in common, one of which is very principally involved with current emotional turmoil I'm having.

In my first 24 hours alcohol free, I have not separated my tumultuous relationship trouble from my drinking trouble.

I trust my mentor to be fair , but, is it a good idea for a sponsor and sponsoree to have close relationships in common?
