| How long did it take you to get a sponsor?
I'm a couple weeks out of residential treatment, and I've been going to outpatient x2 a week and meetings every other day. I've got 37 days sobriety now and I feel great, but I need to get a sponsor soon to get going on the steps.
My dilemma is that I've been talking to a lot of other folks in the program, which includes those I see @ outpatient, and they've told me they'd wish they'd been more selective when getting their first sponsor. These are folks that have been in and out of recovery for years and have had many sponsors.
I know I need to get one, but I don't want to just pick someone arbitrarily without having at least some idea of what they're like...
Maybe I'm making this too complicated. Thoughts? Advice?
