I am having problems in my country of origin that are not easily solved at least not without a lot of free help from others. To keep my family’s privacy I can’t give the details.
I took advice talking about them, writing them out. I did worksheets on Socratic questioning with my former therapist and now different ones with my new therapist. After completing the last sheet my fears became skyrocketing!
Several months ago, friends suggested to give them to God, but God seems to challenge me. Time is not on my side.
Any ideas from someone who went through similar things successfully?

I don’t mind listening to the occasional problem of my sponsee that used to bring them to the bottle before, but in spite of really liking that person, I recently got tired of listening to problem after problem after problem and how unfair the world is.
They don’t drink anymore but stopped the steps after step 3 and don’t go to meetings anymore, because they don’t want to hear about other people’s problems, because they say they have enough on their own.
I feel guilty, but I am getting resentful. Again, I really love that person and could imagine having them as a friend if we had met under different circumstances.
So far I don’t find my issue in the AA literature and hope someone here has an idea
