No one ever volunteers.
If I don't get a sponsor I will die.
This is how I did it: I stopped drinking, I asked God for help and I became 100% willing, open minded and honest to follow the suggestions of other sober people. I let go of my old ideas about AA, because they were not working for my sobriety. I agreed to give sobriety my full dedication, not choosing to do only half measures of the program.

This might work for you too.

I'm glad you are ready this time to let yourself be helped. Welcome back! Don't give up on this. Its a matter of life or death, or a life not worth living. Sobriety is there for you.
