I too, have avoided getting a sponsor. My excuse is that the folks that I like in meetings, and talk to the most, are men. I've always felt more comfy with men. So, I'm looking around for a woman to sponsor me. Almost was going to ask one woman a few weeks ago, but after she shared I thought that she had a lot going on personally and decided against it.
I need one. I'm sober, but I'm not feeling great. I know it's cause I'm not working a program. Getting a sponsor is my goal for the week!
