I am on the 10th person and i cannot even get anyone to step 1.
They just fade away. I have offered to take them thru the Big Book word for word and all they want to talk about is a drunkalog.

Wait - where are you in the sequence ?
Are you in AA, with a lot of good experience i getting sober and saner?
typically, someone asks you to be their sponsor and help them with the steps. If people who have asked you to be their sponsor ALL drift away, then it is something about the way you are trying to help.
But if it is that, lets say , hallf of the people who ask you to be their sponsor drift away, it could be that they weren't reasy, that you 2 didn't have a good working relationship, etc. It happens.
but if you are trying to get people to follow the AA steps and they didn't ask you to be their sponsor, you are doing things in the wrong order.

You cannot do step 1 without talking about the stuff with the drinking. The dr. cant check out your heart without checking your pulse in some way.
When people pull away from sponsors, they do so because the sponsor is too controling, boring or not relivant. 10 people says you are being co-dependant. You need to go to CO DA and start Step 1
