I feel desperate but seems that no one else seems to be interested. Except for OC NA sponser who believes that woman only want to take advantage of him. That to me sounds kinds of arrogant when people are crying out for help. Very discouraging.
I agree. Sometimes its next to impossible. I recently went to a meeting in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Small town. There was like only two girls at the meeting. Both with only a couple months. Neither one had a sponsor. Because there pretty much wasnt anyone. The nearest big city was Salt Lake. A couple hundred miles. However, in LA it shouldnt be a problem. And unlike Andy, I am butt ugly, flat broke, attached, and far from lonely.
In a small town it might be best to even go find a sponsor in AA until you can find an NA sponsor. Maybe wait for an NA convention to come around in a nearby city. Either way, I highly recommend finding someone ASAP. And defineatly the same sex.
