Id appreciate your support. The dilemma is that Ive feelings for my coach in recovery. I know this happens because Im recovering and we have had problems with my husband (he was inlove with another). I hate this and hope it will go over soon. Please give me advice on how to go through this in a sensible way. My priority is to heal and become as stable person as i can.

I had my favorite sober person Iāve met in real life tell me early on absolutely NO opposite sex sponsors-you get too intimate with all the work that has to be done and you grow to love these people. Have it be someone you can share freely with but not sexually. It needs to be a relationship about recovery and healing you if they are your advisor. Iād get a new coach

Iām agreeing with othersā¦this person can NOT be your coach anymore. But I fear that it could happen with the next one too. I wonder if you are searching for a person to ātake care ofā you, or perhaps you are subconciously confusing that ātaking care ofā as something more intimate. Please be careful. You need to focus on you and not on any sort of relationship.

Sounds like semantics to me. People can apply their own situation to his mold.

Thank you all 
The program will end in a few days and then I probably wont see this person again. You are so right, I might search someone to take care of me and know it is wrong and have to work this out with a therapist or related. Im grateful & moved by the support I always get here

The meetings I go to use āthe gender you are most attracted toā. Itās clear they have made an intentional choice to be inclusive and I think thatās really beautiful.
Iām glad the program is ending so this situation will disolve.

Ok, what about if you are attracted to a person for who they are regardless the gender?

Nothing āofficialā about it. Yes, you will find individuals or even groups that will tell you you HAVE to have a sponsor of the same sex. But Alcoholics Anonymous takes no stance on sponsorship ārulesā. I have a Trans friend that has a dude sponsor and I have a gay man friend that has a lady sponsor. Thatās what works for them. And thatās all that matters.
If someone has a problem with a meeting or person then it is up to them to do something about it. Find a meeting they are more comfortable with. Most places that have a lot of meetings have LGBT meetings if that is what they are looking for. But even those meetings follow the same program (yes, Iāve been to a coupleš). They follow the same 12 steps. They follow the same 164 pages of The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. That will never change for anyone reguardless of age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, creed, ext. ext.
Iām only saying this because of hate for someone reading this to think that gay people arenāt welcome at AA. Iām sure thatās not the intent here, but it could be taken that way. āThe only requirement for membership is the desire to stop drinkingā is our Third Tradition.

Thatās right. Iām a gay woman and regularly go to an LGBT AA meeting. Itās all the same work. In fact, many attendees arenāt even gay! 
I also donāt think this is necessarily a gender thing, after all, bisexuals exist. The OP didnāt say what sex their coach is. I have a male gay sponsor and that works for me.
Horses for courses!

As someone who is pansexual, my approach is to just be mindful of my recovery relationships, in particular, my own intentions. Just because I am attracted to people of all gender identities/expressions, doesnāt mean I am attracted to everybody. I chose a female sponsor because I knew I wouldnāt feel comfortable being honest about some of my risk taking behavior with a man. I made sure my sponsor was someone that I feel strictly platonic vibes with.
Some AA language is a bit old fashioned but I donāt let that impact me and my engagement negatively. I roll with it and interpret it how I believe it should be interpreted to be as inclusive as possible, as that is how I believe it was intended

Thanks for sharing your thoughts @planchette 
There is really nothing wrong with love, unless it disturbs the recovery. And instead of feeling miserable I could be happy of this connection although it is leading nowhereā¦? Hmmmm

The religious undertones and the chants made me feel kind of weird like kind of cult-ishā¦ Definitely no offense meant here itās just not my style I had a hard time taking it seriously, or not getting a headacheš§
Oh boy. Feelings for someone is the last thing you need, especially your coach! Major relapse trigger. Focus on sobriety
