Reaching For Personal Freedom

I just received this workbook and I love it and can not wait to get started. Should I wait until I have a sponsor to start this? There are 4 people in my group that might be potential sponsors for me but I am still having trouble with courage to ask. 

Thanks!

Welcome MarciaP to MIP - glad you found us and so glad you jumped right in and joined us. I fully understand the fear in asking for a sponsor....My projection of the outcome made it much more fearful that it ended up being. Pray about it and it will happen as it should.

As far as waiting or starting - either is fine. Recovery is a personal journey so you get to decide when, how, etc. you work the steps. A sponsor might have some added questions, but there is certainly no harm in looking through it, beginning to write, etc.

Keep coming back - glad you are part of our family!!
