Today was my first 24 hours. Going on 48 now. I’m taking it a day at a time. Going to meetings. Wondering how to ask someone to be a sponsor and what they’ll expect the first few days. I have not had one before. Thank you so much!

At the meetings you have been to have people not asked for a raise of hands or is there not a list of numbers of people willing to sponsor? Usually there is something like that and you ask a person that you feel ‘has what you want’ in terms of attitude / lifestyle.
They usually will want to arrange a regular meeting to read and discuss the big book / steps. And some ask for a quick call / text each day.

Here in Scotland you approach someone who has a good sobriety and you feel will be helpful in your recovery , for me guys ask me a lot to be their sponsor but i sometimes have to decline and point them to someone else but i give them my number just incase they need to talk
