Hi Everyone! I just found this site accidentally while doing some research. I am currently kind of in a pickle. I am a mother of a young child so its difficult for me to get out to meetings accordingly. I do go just not as much as I would like. I'm sure there are those here that know the struggle of juggling family, work, meetings and recovery. As if staying clean isn't enough. I am very happy I found this site. Hopefully now juggling those responsibilities will be alot less hectic. Anyway, months ago my sponsor relapsed and when I found out, I put searching for a sponsor on the back burner for months while I cooked and prepared everything else. Would there be anyway I could find one here?
Thank you all for your kindest attention God Bless ğ
..welcome to the NA message board Shay. I already wished yer a good day on your other post
I'm sad to hear of your sponsor's relapse. I know for myself that it's difficult building trust. When a sponsor I had did the same,it took me quite some time to find a 'right' one,but in the end I'm very glad I went through the process. I've now got a sponsor who is a better match for me. One thing I found useful was the concept of 'temporary' sponsors..it's good to 'test-drive' each other before signing the lease! I hope you eventually find some blessing in the setback,,,stay STRONG!
Certainly this board can be one helpful way of keeping recovery in our lives, I'm usually around the internet a fair bit more than this week,,and get notifications on fresh posts,,and,or others are around at times too. Feel free to pm if you want, but nothing will beat 'live' connections in NA,especially for a sponsor.
...are there others in your area to trade phone #'s?....another good way to stay in touch when you can't get to a meeting.
all th'BEST!....mikah

Welcome to Miracles in Progress, it's a good way to connect with others!
The only way I've heard of finding a sponsor is face to face. But hey maybe you can find somebody, it is the 21st century after all. Our traffic here is been slow lately, so don't be discouraged if responses take a while. Wish you continued success!!
Hello serenity! I am also a mom to a small child and looking for a sponsor. I've hit rock bottom within the last week and I am fighting day by day to continue my recovery. I would love to chat/ exchange numbers. This post was from a while ago so I do not know if you will see this. Shoot me a message or response and GL continuing your recovery.
Welcome! I sponsored a guy long-distance who found me on the board. My made contacted and talked over the phone for years. It worked out well. I hope you find a sponsor.
