I will add to what Joey posted.

First, he's spot on, you'll find a sponsor at a meeting. I don't know any other way.

To take Joey's point one-step further, attend meetings and listen to what potential sponsors are saying. Take your time, but stay oriented on finding someone. That is a priority. Try to find someone who is living a life you'd like to live.

A sponsor doesn't have to become a close friend, although this usually happens. But at crunch time, a good sponsor will tell you stuff you won't want to hear.

Finally, if you pick someone and it just isn't helping you, just kindly tell the person you're going to find a new sponsor. I've had this happen to me. It's not personal. It IS about what is best for you, and what gives you the greatest chance to get and stay sober.

Best of luck!

Joe
