You’ll be able to find a sponsor by attending the meetings! My fiancé found his sponsor by attending different meetings. Also if you have a therapist who specializes with addiction, they can help you out as well. Congrats on the 11 month milestone! I’m sure you’re feeling so better and clear minded. Just remember this feeling. Good luck to you, cheering you on from the internet!
Congrats on 11 months. I know how you feel. I’m going to my first in person meeting which is going to take a lot of courage and I think it’ll be easier to find a sponsor there.
That’s nice to hear. I’ve been loving zoom meetings bc of the lack of time and travel constraints but going in person would probably help me be more committed and find a sponsor. Congrats on going that’s a big step
If nothing else just go to one of those people and see if you can ask them questions or help you get started. I def get that initial hesistance
Thank you! I feel so much better. Trying to journal and meditate more to remind myself how unhappy I was when I drank bc that’s becoming easy to forget. Thanks for the words or encouragement and tips ❤️

Meetings help remind me why I quit, and why I want to stay sober today. It’s definitely easier to find a sponsor at an in person meeting, but you can absolutely find one via zoom too. And don’t focus so much on finding someone who has a similar job/lifestyle/look/car/attire/etc.; look for someone who has the kind of sobriety you want.
AA works because everyone there wants one thing and one thing only: recovery. I’ve learned more from the people are most different from myself. The most important thing is to not hesitate. You can always switch to a new sponsor, but if you trust your gut and just approach everything with willingness, open mindedness, and honesty, it will always work out. It always does. :)

Totally agree, although 99.999999% of the time one should choose a sponsor of the same gender. “Guys with the guys, and girls with the girls.”
Congrats on 11 months! What others have said here, go to some in person meetings and find someone who has what you want (whatever that means to you) and ask them. Most of us in AA are thrilled to take on sponsees. Sponsoring fills my soul and helps keep me sober and emotionally balanced. So, even someone with one day sober is helping someone else stay sober by being a sponsee. I sponsor a guy in advertising and we end up talking about work a lot. I’d recommend finding someone who has what you want who isn’t necessarily in this biz because they’ll bring some outside perspective and (at least in my case) the personal defects were there before the job. Just, parts of the job made them run rampant (or allowed me to let them run rampant) and I’m now measuring myself by who I am not what I do at work.
