Hi there! Im not sure about online sponsorship but I do know that 12 step meetings such as AA, NA, and CA etc have sponsorship. Are there any in ur area? Ive attended many in person mtgs and my sponsor at that time was very helpful for me in my recovery.

> What is a sponsor? How do I find a sponsor? Will you sponsor me? Sponsorship is great! It’s helped me a bunch. This is my take on it since people ask a lot, but I’m by no means the authority… Sponsorship usually refers to 12-step programs specifically (like Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous), not recovery in general. Here’s a link with [Q&A on how it works in AA](https://www.aa.org/assets/en_us/p-15_Q&Aonspon.pdf). What is a sponsor? Sponsors are people who’ve worked through the steps of a program.

All i can say is anytime you need to chat reach out on here. Make a post. Thats what ive been doing. Trying to make sure i regulary check the app and read through post. I constantly need a reminder why i wanna be sober. Cause that lil evil voice is always wondering around and i have to learn to ignore it. Also what others have said. Can try and find an AA group or something in your area. Myself personally i didnt like the one in my small town. Use this fine group of people on here. You got this.
