Live and Let Live

Nothing has been more helpful to me in staying sober and living a useful life than sponsorship. But in the beginning, I sometimes used my "authority" as a sponsor to bully my sponsees. I ridiculed their thinking and showed little compassion or patience if they acted in ways that I didn't approve of. Where did this soberer-than-thou attitude come from? I think I brought it with me from the days of wine and roses.
