How does one go about finding a sponsor? EXACTLY.
I know that the starting point is to go to meetings, get phone numbers, use the phone numbers. But What should I be looking for/ asking about?
I've read that a sponsor isn't necessarily a friend. I've been told that it'd be wise to first ask someone to be a temporary sponsor. That the temp sponsor then might or might not work out to be a permanent sponsor. Does that sound right to you?
I have issues with drugs and (to a lesser degree) alcohol. Should I look for a person who has issues with both and is dual dx'ed like me?
I have 3 weeks left to find a sponsor so I can start working the steps. In compliance with my d & a IOP.
Please advise ASAP.
