The sponsor/sponsee relationship is one of the cornerstones of making AA work. You aren't putting anyone on the spot by asking - many are hoping you will ask as it's their opportunity to help someone else. If you ask someone who is unable because of other responsibilities, they will simply say that they can't and probably refer you to someone who can.
