Making friends who go to meetings/ working the steps talk :)

Good morning.

I’d truly like to make friends that go to meetings and are working the steps , im very new to going to meetings and I haven’t started the steps as I haven’t found a sponsor. But would be awesome to chat with others :slightly_smiling_face: I’m in winnipeg , Manitoba, Canada if anyone else is from here or even anyone from around the world would be sweet.

Welcome Kendra!

Have you looked at online meetings? If you search “AA online” or “NA online” or “SMART Recovery online” you’ll find online meetings you can join, and at meetings like that you can find sponsors and recovery buddies (here on Talking Sober is a good place to meet recovery buddies too).

Welcome to Talking Sober :wave:

Hello, You’ve come to the right place if you need to talk to people. I also just joined this place, but I have a little over 5 years sober. I stopped going to meeting since covid started.

Hi! I know this is from months ago but I might as well reply. I’m also from Winnipeg and would love to chat. I live in Bangkok but having a friend in the program from home would be nice.
