The Bloke He Read the Doctor’s Opinion to Thirteen Times – Dave M.
About This Speaker Tape
"I didn't come in, take a tablet, and become an automatic sponsoring device." Dave M. strips the varnish off the sponsorship process, treating it less like a sacred rite and more like riding a bike—trial, error, and a few crashes along the way. He dismantles the "no experience" fudge used to keep people on medication out of the steps, arguing that unless you're playing doctor, the only pure positions are to sponsor everyone or nobody.
Dave warns against the ego trip of the "Big I Am," cautioning men about the power dynamics and attraction risks of sponsoring the opposite sex. He rejects the role of the unpaid counselor, drawing a hard line between the drama of a weekly vent session and the disciplined work of the Big Book. From importing illegal cigarettes to bankrupting himself with credit cards, Dave admits his own wreckage, insisting that the goal isn't to make a sponsee reliant on a man, but to show them how to rely on a Higher Power.
