I thought I heard Harriet Levy (1:278/307) say: 
 ->>was saved from quite a few.   Also, she's given me a safe place to

 ->>that I can talk about the real shaming stuff, and get to the point where

and what strikes me as the important thing here, gal, is that one has to have 
the WILLINGNESS to explore the real hard stuff...the stuff you don't  want to 
look at, let alone  talk about.     seems to me that choosing to remain  
sponsorless gives  a wonderful option to 'hide out'
by asking someone to sponsor you, you are...signifying your willingness to 
continue the process?
btw...thank you.
