If anyone is willing 
I am 22, female, and barely starting my recovery.
Im very independent, I won’t bother much,
I really just need a person to call sometimes, one who understands, a person who just be willing to talk for a little while when im having a craving. That’s all

Something just to think about. Do you feel your describing a close trusted recovery friend? A good sponsor is someone who holds you accountable and takes you through the steps of recovery. Is my sponcor a friend? Yes I trust him completely but when I chose him I was also choosing someone that I was going to follow through with everything he suggested. Sometimes he’s a pain in the rear but I chose him to help me make the right decisions to stay sober

I do want someone to hold me accountable but I also don’t want to pressure them to feel like I’m their responsibility or they have to answer everytime I call. It would be nice to at least have someone there sometimes is what I meant

But yes I would love someone to be able to hold me accountable!
I’d suggest to go to a lot of recovery meetings and make friends. Talk to the ones you feel have solid sobriety. You’ll find a friend you trust. Then watch for that person that fits for a sponsor, you’ll know when you find them. There should be no rush and your willingness to follow her lead should be ready. I’m the meantime reach out to the people on this site you feel have solid recovery when your tempted. There are surly a lot of good recovery minded folks on here.

Reach out! We are always around. Send a message if you want. Online meetings are everywhere too. I know there are a couple women on here who sponsor from afar. Either phone calls or zoom. You’ve got this! We all do.

Well said.
Lots of recovery meetings is my suggestion. I did 124 meetings in 90 days. I had a really good idea on the people I trusted to be around and chose my sponcor after that. You are worth choosing someone that is going and wants to be available for you. It is something we that have solid sobriety need to do to keep us sober and connected. You are worth it and you are important and your sobriety is precious. Don’t settle for anything less

Meetings are great places to find sponsors. Listen for a sponsor. There is literature from NA and AA about what a sponsor is and isn't. Read that literature. If you get a sponsor but you end up not liking them, then get another one!

Are you going to AA meetings? It's easier to pick a sponsor when we can tell who's not just talking the talk but actually walking the walk. That's going to be hard to do by choosing somebody from this app.
Best place to find a sponsor is at an AA big book discussion meeting.
My name is Maria Mayfield and I’m a recovering addict from heroin crystal meth crack and cocaine I’ll sponsor you if you like through the phone and through Zoom or FaceTime call me anytime I live in Louisiana and I’m from New Orleans if you want my number inbox me

Really the only thing I really know is that I used to be a mess and now I have a great life. I just share my experience, strength, hope. And I ramble a lot

I'm in the Fresno area once every 2 months on average. We can meet at a coffee shop or something and BS.
