Looking for a sponsor

I am currently looking for a sponsor. The recent events of my life have shown me that I am not one of those people who are able to drink in moderation. Once I start drinking, all I want to do is drink more. There have been times where I think that I can control it, but am always shown otherwise. I think I have finally got this through my head, and am looking for a little support. See More

Hi Patricia. My name is Jami and I came across this website searching for a sponsor. I have not received any responses to my post about it so I have been looking through profiles in search of someone who is willing to sponsor. I have not found very…

Seeking a sponsor

Hello, I am in need of a sponsor. I have been sober for over 90 days now but can feel myself slipping and it is becoming harder to resist the urges. I do not have transportation so it is very difficult for me to get out and interact with people in person or attend meetings. If anyone is willing to sponsor me please let me know. Thank you very much.See More

Administrator's Book Recommendation

If you like the stories in the back of the Big Book, you'll love reading 'Addict at 10". If you are new or even if you've been around a while, here is a book you just won't be able to put down.

Welcome AA'ers and Members of NA

Attention Members. As the administrator of this site, I am attempting to filter out spammers, through new tools available on this network. Sorry for any inconvenience. - Dale M.

If you want to get sober or would like to support newcomers as they get on the road to recovery, please fill out your profile and start making connections. We have lots of newcomers that come to this site, and we are always in need of anyone that can check in on them or to guide them into detox, treatment or into a program. BTW, there is a chat box at bottom of page for those who want to chat.

It seems that many people come on this website and "advertise" for a sponsor by opening a new discussion or making a statement in a forum that they want a sponsor. This is the wrong way to go about getting a sponsor. I recommend you simply ask someone. Be straight-forward about it. Send them a private message and ask for their help. People are generally on this site for one of two reasons - they either want a sponsor or they are willing to be one, so if their profile states they are willing to be a sponsor then feel free to ask them. They will be glad to hear from you. Trust me, you will get much better results by asking someone directly.

SO, WHO'S TO BLAME FOR MY ALCOHOLISM

OK, let’s take a little time to look at this question. Let’s play the blame game for a little while. Now I can't speak for you, only for myself, but when I was in the depths of despair that only an addict can truly know, I looked around for somebody or something to blame, not now and again, but all the time. Everything and everybody but myself was to blame for my problems, and I'm fairly certain that most addicted people, judging by those I have met along the way, go through this…

Only 349 shoppings till Christmas

The holiday season is in the rear view mirror once again and I survived with sobriety in tact. I have a lot of resentments about Christmas, the majority of them to do with the rituals of the season that have either lost their connection with the myth or are purely commercial, masquerading as tradition. I have been advised that “You don't have to participate” and that helps to a certain extent, but the emperor is still walking around with not clothes, even if I'm…
