Generally you can find a sponsor by going to AA meetings and letting them know you're looking for a sponsor.

Welcome to the SR family. You'll find lots of support here.

As Least said, you will be able to find a sponsor at an AA meeting.

You are very welcome to post here for support anytime.

Hi Deziraye,

Why not drop in to the 12 step forum here? There are a number of recovered women who could possibly help.

It's good to have you with us, Deziraye. I was desperate to get sober when I first came to SR - the encouragement I found here helped me change my life.

Welcome, Deziraye!

Have you been to any meetings to find a sponsor?

SR Classes are a great to give to, and receive from, support to/from SR members who are also new to recovery. Our Dee74 spends much time in the Classes providing wisdom and guidance. In my very humble opinion, the SR Classes are SR's versions of IRL meetings.

You may want to check out this forum. The folks there may know of some on-line sponsorships:
