A Helping Hand

I met the woman who was to become my sponsor when I had nine days. I forgot what she said that night, but I got the sense that this lady had her head on straight. I called her on day twelve because I didn't know what else to do. She told me she had other plans that night, but surprised me by showing up at my meeting. There were no chairs left, so I sat on the floor and she sat on the floor, too. When the meeting was over, I asked her to be my sponsor. She hugged me and said, "God sent you to me!" She has been my sponsor ever since and is one of the most important people in my life.
