Welcome to the community friend. Take your time reading around and feel free to ask questions as i know the site can be overwhelming when you are new and trying to navigate. The more you are here the more threads will open up for your viewing pleasure.
My favorite thread is Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6
I do believe that going to recovery group meetings or AA meetings is where you are able to scope out potential sponsors who would fit your needs. Best of luck.
