At my meeting the other night, one of the chair persons suggested that I work on finding a sponsor this week. I know she is right because I'm totally convinced it could help me with my recovery.
My question is this: Do I ask someone in my group? It's a small group and there are two ladies in there that would be good cannidates. Or is it ok to ask someone that is not part of my alanon group? I have a dear friend that is 20 years sober and she lives by the 12 steps.
Should my sponsor be in alanon or is it ok for them to be a recovering addict like my friend?
I have always been a shy introverted person so I'm a little nervous at asking someone. I don't know why I'm nervous, maybe fear of rejection. I don't want to seem like I'm bothering someone or wasting their time. --serious Codie moment going on here--
So anyway, I guess I'm just looking for a little advice from those of you that have sponsors and those of you that are sponsors as to how to go about asking someone.
I have been putting this off for way to long..
