Seeking a sponsor

My sobriety date is 4/27/12.I don't have transportation and bus routes make it difficult for me to get to meetings when I get the urge to drink.I had a close call last week..drinking rum and mixing sleeping pills due to feeling at the end of my rope after the one year of my mom's passing. I've suffered depression most of my life as well.However, my family and friends rallied around me and made me feel so loved. They're actually staying with me around the clock.I would like to have a sponsor to…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.

Would like advice

Hi, 

I would like to find a sponsor/ talk to someone. I am 28 and have been a functioning alcoholic for about 8 years. I run my own business and not even my partner knows but I am drinking about 20 units every evening. 

I need any help or advise I can get. I am frightened to stop incase I suffer with drawl symptoms so I feel extremely trapped. I really don't want to go to the doctors- I want to do this at home.
