Doing the 12 Steps alone?

19 February 2013 - 6:25pm — Etienne1977

Hi there
 
I've been to a few different SLAA meetings now and have been told at all of them that there's no-one available to be a sponsor. I've been told by a few different people at the meetings that due to the nature of our illness many people find it difficult to become a sponsor.
 
I'm really keen to start the step programme and was wondering if it is possible to do it alone as I don't want to have to wait until I find someone - which may be never at this rate!
 
Do you think it's possible, have you done so yourself? Or could you suggest a way to find a sponsor?
Many thanks for any comments in advance.

Hi Etienne,   Why not just

Hi Etienne,
 
Why not just ask someone whom you feel you relate to if they can sponsor the first few steps? My first sponsor didnt stand up either.
 
Many people in slaa are willing to sponsor if asked, just that they dont announce it at the meetings. I feel sure you will find someone if you ask around.
 
Good Luck
 
Prof.
