While others should be ready and willing to help...you have to "ask" for the help....

Going through the steps will help you stay clean. Sponsors are there to talk to and also to guide and direct you when going through the steps...to help you do it. Find someone you can relate to....someone who has some substantial clean time and is actually "working the program". Someone who HAS a sponsor, someone who has been through the steps.....

Just my opinion......also, there may be specific "step study" meetings.... if there's a meeting where they ask if anyone has a topic...jump in there and say...
"I am confused by the steps" or...."sponsors".....then you will get a chance to hear several different views and takes on sponsors or the steps.....
