| Crisco,
I think that that is *EXCELLENT* you are looking for a sponsor. Sometimes, just opening that "gate" in yourself makes it happen. I know that's not how it always works. But, for me, it was pretty amazing. The very week that I began thinking I needed to get a sponsor, I found myself talking during a break in a meeting to a woman who had a very serene face and personality. She was older than me and I admired her instantly. And all I did was open my mouth and out came the words, "Do you sponsor people?" She said yes and smiled. I said, "How long have you been sober?" And she said, 22 years. I asked, "Will you sponsor me?" And she said yes and we set a time and place right then and there.
I really didn't know I was going to ask her. It just tumbled out of my mouth. And I'm so glad. She's perfect for me.
Good luck. I'm sure that you will find the right sponsor. And I know it doesn't always happen as easily as it did for me but it *will* happen for sure.
