My experience with Al-anon was a rocky start. I went to a few meetings until I found one that 'fit'.
Once I was there, I learned that they recommened that I attend at least 6 meetings before trying to find a sponsor. I've attended more than 6 now, and I'm looking around for a sponsor. I still don't really 'know' anyone quite well enough in my estimation to ask them to be my sponsor. It might be a self-limiting thing, but I'll keep going until the answer is clear.
I'm glad to hear you're going!!
