I tried so hard to find somebody to be my Sponsee. My home group there are a group of women that kind of "hog "all the newcomers. If I could find someone out there that wanted to talk to me it would help me with my program I need to pass this on.

Generally, it's going to take quite awhile before members here begin to know you and trust you. In the meantime, posting in the forums is always a way to help members.
My advice is to continue posting and get to know people and perhaps something will work out. However, as I suggested on your other post, I think you should speak to people at the meetings you attend.

Every single one of you on this forum who shares personal struggles helps me.
Tell us your story Step12. What has worked? What hasn't worked? What is your favorite book? Did you have an "Ah ha moment"? How many day 1s did you have to do?
