Online Sponsor

Hello,
Does anyone know how to find an online sponsor? I live 40 minutes from the closest meeting and am unable to attend regularly.

Hi sweetmessyb

I'm not an AA member but I wanted to welcome you.

There are online AA meetings - you can Google them - might be another place to look ?

I know you'll find a lot of support here, from all our members

Hey Sweet,

This subject comes up quite a lot on the forum and the answer is normally the same. It is advisable to get a sponsor that you can talk too face to face but obviously sometimes this isn't possible. There are people on this site who will sponsor people by means of skype or on social networking sites. I'm sure someone will pop in here at some point and maybe offer sponsorship. I'm not going too purely because I am only on Step 3. I take them slow lol. Failing that have a look in AA chat meetings like Dee suggested. Hope you find a sponsor.

Natom.

Welcome sweetmess. I'm glad you found us. :ghug3

I agree with what's been said already. Check out some online AA meetings, I think that would be very helpful. Also, I've known a couple people around here to agree to be an online sponsor.

Stick around and do lots of reading.

I too highly recommend a sponsor you can talk to face to face. Even if you can't regularly see them, make a point of it to try and get together for lunch or something once a month or so.
