How to get a Sponsor?

I need a Sponsor who has WhatsApp from anywhere even from India. A person who is not judgemental, supportive in every way with emotions as well a kind person.

Welcome to the forum Ang! Do you have any 12 step meetings in ur area? Going to meetings is the most common way to find a sponsor. Someone that can take you thru the Big Book etc.

Some friendly advice - if and when you do find yourself a sponsor be ready to accept the difference between judgement and honesty. When I first started getting sober my judgement of my current situation was well off and it took some straight talking, often tough to hear, to get me to a better place.
No decent sponsor will judge you though, how can they they have probably done worse than you would ever imagine :rofl:. Best wishes and I hope you find what you need :wink:

Listen to the shares in meetings and when you get that feeling of “I want what they have”, that’s the person to ask. You can always ask someone to be a temporary sponsor until the right person comes along.

Thank you Lisa , I’ve just read through this and found it very helpful to me :kissing_heart:
