I'm a forty year old man who needs a mentor to guide me through the process of getting away from opiates and into the NA system. I live in Arlington, near Davis Square in Somerville.

The best way to find a mentor (i.e. sponsor) is to go to meetings. You should be able to find them online. Also, here's a meeting locator link: http://portaltools.na.org/portaltools/MeetingLoc/
Taking that giant first step is huge. I remember the conversations I had with myself for a couple of weeks before deciding to go to a meeting. then when I did decide to go, I drove right past the church, turned around, and drove past again. The next time I actually got into the parking lot, before bailing. I finally drove for 35 minutes and went to a meeting in another town. That was about 5 years ago, and was the best decision I ever made. Good luck to you.
