Well done - that took a lot of courage.
I strongly suggest you get a female sponsor. There is nothing wrong with using him as support, but the nature of the sponsor/sponsee relationship is different. This requires that you are brutally honest with yourself and your sponsor, and this type of honesty can carry over into a different type of intimacy when we are dealing with the opposite sex. This was noticed since the early days of AA.

I feel like i need to get to know more of the women first, see i have a trust issue. I need to really know someone before i can share things with them. I do hope to make many sober friends in AA and I am attending some of the women only meetings as well.
