I'm looking for a female sponsor. I'm not able to make it to meetings but would like someone that I can correspond with via email. Preferably someone who has had an alcoholic spouse and chosen to stay with them. Please respond to this post if you think you might be interested in being my sponsor. Even if others have responded, please do still respond because I would like to find someone who is a good fit for me.
Thank you for every bit of alanon support that has been given to me. I don't know if I would function without it.
I am not sure I would qualify as a sponsor as I haven't done much step work nor have I been in the program for all that long (only over a year) but I would be happy to correspond with you over email or text messages. If you look at my past posts you can see my background but I am married to A (now in recovery) with small children. I will send you a private message to share email address. You will see it on the top right hand portion of your screen that will say you have mail.
I am not sure either about being a sponsor for you but I have. I live w a a periodic alcoholic who hasn't drank in over nine years & went out 3 times since we got married. He is a miracle & so am I. Don't have time to tell my story. The thing is though us that I have39 years in the program & still go to meetings. My qualifier is now my husband. We have been married nearly 2 years because he took off & didn't even say goodbye. He came back but since then I have had trust issues. My idea of sponsor is to work the steps follow the the program one day at a time. I would suggest that if you are able to go to F2F meetings if you Can &make some plans to meet w your on a schedule. If you are interested I don't know where you live but you & I could text daily. My sponsor & another lady send texts to each other almost daily. My sponsor lives 60 miles away but we text something that we are grateful for.
I am a slow learner because it took me a long time t get the program. Today I pretty much try to share this program in ally affairs. I am a long timer but I am still a work in progress. I go to meetings. I go whether my alcoholic is drinking or not. I hope you find sponsor who fits your needs. In the meantime keep coming back. We will love you even when you don't live yourself. Be gentle w yourselves. The program is here for you. It was here for me over 30 years ago. See you on your journey. Hugs Kathleen
Anon: I will get back to you later by PM. That's all I can do for you today. Hang in there. Something will happen. I know I can help. 30 years in Alanon. About 10 or more years if recovery.
Hugs
