I chickened out

I made a post several days ago about my troubles finding a sponsor:

http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...ing-right.html

All week I was planning on asking this guy at my Saturday meeting to sponsor me and I chicken out today.

During the whole meeting God was sending me signals to do it; the chairperson repeated several times during his comments that getting a sponsor is necessary. And on top of that the name of the guy I was going to ask has the same name as my dog!!

I sent an e-mail to the main AA office in Cleveland asking if they can hook me up with someone and/or maybe I will be more brave in the future.

I know it helps a sponsor when he helps others but I feel weird putting my problems on someone else - I know it is all my ego and I have to do the steps to recover.
