How do I get a sponsor?

I would suggest trying to find inperson meetings. I had first sponsor through a zoom meeting but it’s not the same. Nice to have a woman to meet for coffee, go to lunch and just work the program.

I agree with Meadow, face time is b big plus if you can have that option in your area. Also (and I know I’m stating the obvious here) same gender sponsors are always the go to for a multitude of reasons, specific shared experiences being at the top of that list.

Attend women’s AA meetings and ask someone in the room that you identify with to sponsor you.

And yes. In person face to face is a must.

At my AA meeting they ask who has knowledge of the 12 steps and willing to sponsor. And then they ask who is in need of a sponsor. A seasoned female member offered to help me

Definitely in person womens meetings. Go to some meetings and find a lady that says some good shït that makes sense to you. Then ask her if she's sponsoring.

Sometimes we start off with a temporary sponsor in the beginning,,, and as we go to more and more meetings and listening we find the right one… so if your first sponsor doesn’t work out, remember it’s okay, Good luck

Ask someone to sponsor you… someone who has what you want!!!
Just like you asking on here go to meetings and ask someone to be your sponsor you have to put yourself out there at a meeting not here
Meetings
You go to a meeting and find the biggest meanest person and you walk up to them and punch them.... oh wait

Listen to those who are carrying the message of Alcoholics Anonymous. These are the members who are working the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Listen and watch how they conduct themselves before, during, and after meetings. These people will have lots of hope and wisdom to share with you. They will be kind and loving. If the in-person meeting goes for fellowshipping afterwards my suggestion is to join them. My home group and many other meetings I go to regularly get food before or after the meeting. This is a great way to meet people in the program. Remember Alcoholics don’t chase other Alcoholics. It’s up to you to ask for help…

Go to aa and just ask
I believe Kevin
I’ve found 2 sponsors on zoom meetings, like h can google AA or NA or whichever u prefer virtual meetings, it’ll take u to another site with a. List of the times of that day with a bunch of different meetings u can attend. Seriously it’s been way easier and a lot better then in person for me anyway..
You see the overwhelming majority of people telling you to do it in person. If you want the the best chance at success in person at a women’s AA meeting is the way to go. Get an idea of your surroundings but don’t wait to long, you can always change sponsors if needed. many of us including myself, struggle to ask for help. Remember while they are helping guide you through sobriety, you will be helping secure theirs. It’s part of their sobriety to sponsor those in need. It’s a 2 way street so don’t fear asking like I did!
