My addiction recovery sponsor is mean

He's helping me, I guess, but he cuts me no slack and takes my wife's side

    So LW thinks recovery is like being licked by kitties?

    It's hard work, and your sponsor is helping you. He's not there to massage your ego, he's there to be honest and get you through this. If you didn't have a problem you wouldn't be there so let the man do his job. Also your wife needs space too. Let her have it. Sweet Jesus.
