Finding a sponsor...or more accurately...finding the courage to ASK someone...

Hi all. Its been a while since I've posted. The household recovery is still tracking. But here it is nearly 6 months since we embarked on our journey(s)...and I'm finding it hard to get involved with a sponsor. I have asked one person, who was not able to do it...didn't feel they were sponsor material...and not enough time in the program.

I go to a regular meeting where there are men who could sponsor me. But I find myself unable to approach them. We even spoke about this as a topic of a meeting recently. I freely admit I'm not making all the necessary steps to get there.

When it comes to the point of actually talking to someone, I freeze up. I am not unwilling. I am desperately wanting more out of my recovery. I suppose I'm so full of fear I get paralyzed.

Does anyone else struggle with this? What is it about? What did you do to get beyond it?

Help again...
