Well, start by getting a sponsor, NOW. How?

Talk to numerous ladies, ask a bit about their sobriety, how long they have been sober, and what type of program they work. Do they currently sponsor people? What do they expect when they sponsor people. If they would share a bit about their story, that is very helpful.

Look for somebody you can relate to, or "has something" you would like in your life. Find someone that is NOT a push over.

AFTER you have talked to several people, approach one, and ask. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, NO MATTER WHAT. If by some chance they say no, KEEP ASKING UNTIL YOU FIND SOMEONE. Even if the person you start working with is only temporary, IT'S IS BETTER THAN NO ONE! ! !

1) Attending meetings regularly, with commitments
2) Work the steps, daily
3) Work with a sponsor, daily
4) Be of service to others

OK, really, it's simple.........if you make it difficult, it will be.

BTW, now means just that...........NOW. You have 48 hours.........get to work. Let us know.

(What would you do if you weren't afraid?)
