I’m struggling with cravings and compulsion. I need a sponsor, but I don’t know how to access anyone.

Have you found a meeting to go to? Also checkout Alan Carr's quit drinking without willpower book, it changed my life.

Thank you Joshua. I’ll check it out. I’m dealing with a drug issue, but the book is relevant to this as well. I’ll definitely read it. Peace

U should google NA or AA virtual meetings, it’ll take u to a list with all the times of that day and tons of meetings to choose from! Hope this helps :pray:t3::two_hearts:

There is a free app called meeting guide. The icon is a chair. It will help you find meetings anywhere. Even if your drug of choice isn't booze, addiction and the recovery process are the same. You can do this. :pray:

Go to 90 meetings in 90 days. You can find a sponsor there.

#7

If you’re struggling with drug issues try NA meetings. They have them worldwide. And you can find virtual ones as well. But finding a sponsor is easier in person.

#8

Checking on you!!! Have u prayed? For strength, comfort, direction, correction, and protection. Definitely get to a meeting, and help someone else to get outside ur head. Xoxo rooting for u. The disease is trying to kill us. Fight it plz

Hey, Martin. How are you? Did you find a sponsor yet?

Thank you for your kind words, your concern, and your lovely disposition. I do indeed pray, but I just can’t seem to stop doing dope these days. I quit for 6 years, and then one day I just went out and bought some and now it’s been over 2 years. The problem is, is that there is no consequence for my using, save for the health/medical one. I need a sponsor bad…..

Well, I had planned on my journey to recovery yesterday, but slipped instead. Now I’m tired and wondering if I can actually stop using dope. It’s just too accessible. This creates a severe problem for me because it’s a snap to score. So easy. I don’t know. I want to stop for many reasons - one being, health

  • two being, I’m not ready to die
  • three being, I’m not too fond of keeping secrets
  • four being, I’m a grandfather
  • five being, I’d much rather be in control
    I NEED a sponsor. Not sure how to obtain one

Those are all FANTASTIC reasons to get sober. People get sober everyday- why not you? Do you attend NA meetings?

#17

You can probably find a sponsor at a NA meeting.

#18

No, simply because I don’t know where they are and I dont have a car. I’m stuck. I need a sponsor BAD. HELP!

#19

Will you please sponsor me? ASAP? I need to stop living in isolation. I need someone to talk to, to confide in. Please help.
