David B - A "Top Gun" AA sponsor

[Andy F]

I arrived in AA on the 15^th May 1984. It was wonderful to find myself in a group of people that were so similar to me. That said, I didn’t take the idea of getting a sponsor and working the steps seriously at all. Frequent references to God and a higher power made me wonder if AA was some kind of a cult. I tried to stay sober on fellowship alone. A decade later, only after several near fatal collisions with alcohol, I finally received the Gift Of Desperation. (GOD) The only thing I hadn’t tried was to get a sponsor. It was my last option; otherwise I was a lost cause. I asked David B to sponsor me and began following Good Orderly Direction. (GOD) This blog is in the way of a tribute to David B (R.I.P.) I have no doubt that his particular style of sponsorship, saved my life. I hope you enjoy the blog.
