Hmmm... where to start. My name is Sarah and I am wanting to find a sponser.  I have been clean since April of 05 and well, I haven't had any help.  I do know that I could just as easily relapse as anyone else so, I am finally seeking  support, which is a huge step for me.  I have gone to a total of 3 meetings in my life and I like them and everything, it is just the fact that I work 6-7 days a week and there are no meetings in my area that really fit my schedule.  I think that online meetings would be really awsome, do you benefit the same by doing it online instead of "in person"?

glad you are here.i know that if i didnt use a sponsor,that i buy all my own stuff,and as an addict,i have terrible stuff.even with clean time i make at least four na meetings a week.i can truly relate to these other addicts in a way that is hard to explain.


 even those that live far from meetings will make a trip whenever possible to make them.


i have used an internet sponsor before,but he insisted that i needed to make meetings regularly.


i am glad you are here.alone we use and die.together we have a chance to blossom in to who we are.

Yaythere newcomer and welcome to the greatest journey of your life! On-line meetings are good and in no waay do I want to discourage you to join us on line to share, and we in return and we will attempt to share our experience, strength, and hope. But, I must urge you to go to as many meetings in person as possible, at the chance of sounding harsh, we found time to use , we must find time to recover. A sponsor will give you insight, assigments, that on-line just can't cut it. There are meetings everywhere, try STEPCHAT.COM, there are rooms there that can help, but there is nothing, and I repeat nothing that comparesto a room full of addcts there for each other, there is a meeting before, during and after the offical meeting, find a sponsor first thing. Depending on where you live there may be meetings that are available in the AM, or PM, depending on your work schedule you'll find one. Working is great and a must for most families, but so is RECOVERY.   May GOD bless you in your quest.   Your sister in recovery.      Barbara P
