How do I get a sponsor? Does it cost money? Any information would be helpful, thanks!
FYI I am not a member of AA. While I feel it is crucial for some, it is not my path...however, I still need support other than therapy. Thanks all, gratitude to you all.

It doesn't cost anything and all you have to do is just ask the right person you click with. It took me a long time to find one and just recently found the right person who gets me. I am not a member of anything except a man who is on journey of recovery and realized I can't do it alone. The only payment you owe is to pay it forward when the time is right. That's it..

The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for membership. Meetings are great way to find a someone who has something you would want in a sponsor.

Look into a RECOVERY COACH.
How do I find one?
Recovery community or look it up in your area on google. They have virtual ones as well.

Thanks!
A sponsor doesn’t cost money but a recovery coach will. I suppose one could take you through the steps while you are not attending aa meetings but a part of the stepwork kind of includes meetings- considering most of us forget to apply the new actions and tools for living w/out daily reminders- also carrying the message - aka sharing your experience with living the steps on a daily basis with other people who are wanting or trying to do the same. The steps can help anyone- you just have to keep an open mind. Good luck!
