Who wants to be my sponsor? When asked that question i have no one who immediately pops into mind who would be a solid advocate. Anybody interested or know where I could find one?
Find a meeting and look for someone there I also heard of online meetings. You can always reach out to everyone here.
What are you looking in for a sponsor?
I can help on a short term basis until you can get one that lives near you.
To be honest, I don’t even know. Somebody to yell at me when I’m thinking about using.
I wouldn’t even know where to begin looking as far as meetings go. I tried to go to an AA meeting one time on my own and it just didn’t seem to fit.
You can reach out to me anytime. I dnt mind yelling now and then .
On a serious note I have mentored a couple of girls. We would check in. I have ppl on my friends list I dont know how they msg me just yet.
Caleb.. I'll jump in and help you for the interim if you're still looking for a sponsor. I would recommend Aimee she's pretty badass. I highly recommend her
I went to my profile & found the friends list. Im learning.
I was gonna say if you click on your profile it should pop up
I would love some mentors and sponsors. It would help me stay goal oriented and not slip. The more the merrier. I slip way too easy.
Im sure you will beat yourself up time and time again but nothing in comparison to the road your drug of choice will take you on.
Your not lieing
So sponsorship starts with attending A.A. So attend 90 meetings in 90 days.
You said you went before but “didn’t seem to fit”.
Of course it didn’t, you’re in a room full of sober people. Why would that feel like a fit for any alcoholic/addict?
Keep going and find a sponsor there. Online meetings don’t cut it.
Okay fine I’ll go back I’ll start looking around my area fkr N/A meetings
Get past your fear and attend meetings I preferred NA at the beginning because that was the mindset I had at the time. Step work is the work that we do on ourselves. Change your environment. Go to places you wanted to go to before to find peace.
Million dollar response! You nailed it Matt..
NA look up on the net in your area
Gotta agree with the get your as$ to a meeting advice. If you’ve been battling this disease for 2 decades, you know the easier softer way don’t work. Let’s get to work brother. This platform is a nice little “supplement” to our recovery. It “might” even be enough to keep a sober curious person out of trouble. But if you’re a sick mf’er like many of us, you are going to need a strong daily recovery program. Let’s go brother. It’s time for action
