Navigating Alanon: a few questions

Soooooo........I'm choosing to work on me. My adult son who is 22 is dual diagnosed bipolar and addicted. He just completed a 30 drug/ alcohol rehab, did well, has been home 3 weeks and is relapsing.
Any suggestions concerning relapse? What do I do with the fear that grips me when he goes out?
I have found an Alanon home meeting, have attended about 7 meetings (I'm new even though this has been going on 4 years) and I have had a private therapist to support me for the last 4 years.
How do I go about choosing a sponsor?
Any advice on what I should look for?
I'm reading Alanon literature daily, praying daily and getting exercise. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any input on this mix of questions
