hi there, im just new back to the rooms, in the past ive only done this stuff half hearted, but this time im gonna put my all into it,, was wondering if there is anyway i can get a online sponsor, maybe for the duration or at least till i can get one in real,,
While I'm sure there must be some on line sponsors, I have no knowledge of anyone who actually did find one on line. Going to meetings, finding someone and ASKING them is how it's suppose to work.
Since you did things half-hearted in the past, maybe you should try full commitment and getting an in-person sponsor. You can send me a private message and I'll send you my email.
Welcome and I hope you keep coming back . We can learn from what we did in the past that didn't work, it takes a lot of effort for some of us to do this thing. what i used to tell myself is " If I want this I have to put effort into this", Id' get up off my ass and go to meetings, talk to people, listen to what others shared, and then i had to ask a man to sponsor me and meet with him, and work the steps on my own and with him, i had to do these things or I would not get clean, my chances were not good even if I tried but i kept trying, and i fell a lot. I just kept getting up and trying harder, deeper and more sincerely until I got it.
What did I get ? What i got were what was promised, I had a spiritual awakening through the process that changed me, changed my thinking and my actions, the craving was relieved and nearly lifted completely.
