Where I live in UK most Alanon members are female. Finding a male sponsor for myself, also male, is proving difficult. Someone told me to try the message board and here I am. I shall welcome all views. I've been in fellowship 5/6 years.
It is nice seeing you again. :) There was another man here trying to find a sponsor and if you do a search above where it says Search (between MIP Main Page and User Details), maybe you can bring up that post. I am not sure if he ever got one, but I don't think so.
My daughter was having trouble getting a female sponsor. She finally did. I also just answered Pebbles post and you can read that and get the book name I talked about that has the information for working the steps and traditions. I really don't think getting a sponsor is an urgent thing. I think a person needs to use their HP/God to help work on finding a sponsor too. I look forward to seeing you more here and in chat. cdb :)
Hi Gault, good for you hope u find someone soon,sponsorship was and in still a major part of my recovery,that special person who knows u better than anyone else. (scarry) and loves u anyway. Don't get discouraged , keep trying. Louise.
And as for a HP commig to terms with that is really important , but I can't find a phone number . Sponsorship with skin on it works for me.
I appreciate your comments and shall carry on trying. A couple of years ago I did my Step 4 and then went to Lourdes where I found a priest with whom I could do Step 5. It was very comforting. I still need a more immediate contact though.
Just an idea, since you live in the UK, maybe you could contact your local Alanon there and they could refer you to someone. Or to a male oriented meeting. I know when my hubby started looking for a sponsor a few phone calls had our phone ringing off the hook. Might be worth a try.
