I need a new sponsor

I need a sponsor. I need a sponsor because alone is a bad place for an addict to be. I have a sponsor, but I quit calling her because it felt like a charade. It was just hi, how ya doin and bye. I feel like she's too busy for me, and she hardly ever goes to meetings anyway, We just never really clicked I guess. I've asked myself if it was my fault, and I don't think so, She's been my sponsor for over 40 days, and she hasn't told me to do anything, except read the basic text, and I've done that twice, and call her everyday. I called her everyday for awhile but what's the point? I don't want to be a burden on anyone. I have a couple people in mind, but I haven't had the courage to ask them yet. I've finished my NA step one ?'s and I feel the need to have someone tell me that I'm moving in the right direction. I've asked God to help me with this, and I know he will. In the meantime, it's very hard to stay stagnant, and not move on to Step 2. I know it's a program of suggestions, however I don't think it would be wise to do the opposite of what the book says, and it does say WORK THE QUESTIONS WITH A SPONSOR. So guys pray that I'll find someone that has time for me, and that really does care.
I know how hard it is to find a good sponsor--someone that you connect with. when I first went to the rooms, I listened and I found someone who had what I wanted. I was lucky to find someone very early on and she remained my sponsor for 5 years. She worked the steps with me and helped me to change my life. I did not always agree with her and we had our moments, but she never steered me wrong. I will always love her and be grateful that she was in my life. I re-located and relapsed--almost in that order, but today I have a new sponsor and she is my life line.
I don't know where you live, or if there are many recovering addicts in your area, so you may be struggling to find someone. Oddly enough, I saw an advertisement yesterday and visited a site. It is a site that helps people find a sponsor. To be honest, I did not read much on there--I was in a hurry and have not been back. I thought it may help you as it seems to pair you with people in your area--acording to zip code. It may be worth a try.
"www.sponsorsearch.org". Good Luck!!

I NEED A SPONSER, O.K. IF YOU ARE TRULY LOOKING , SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN, SPONSER ARE NOT BABYSITTERS, MOTHERS, FATHERS OR OUR PERSONAL COUNSULER OR PERSONALLY PUNCHING BAGS. tO HAVE WHAT MY SPONSER HAS IS A BIG GENERAL STATEMENT , WHAT DOES SHE HAVE?
WHATCH OUT I HAVE FOUND THAT SPONSERS NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF TIME THEY HAVE GATHERED, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO FITS OF CHARCTER DEFECTS AT ANYTIME, .
BE AWARE OF YOUR CHOICES, IN DESPERATE TIMES , CHOICES ARE MADE IN DESPERATION ,SO SIMPLE TO MAKE CHOICES FOR THE MOMENT, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LONG JOURNEY.TAKING RISKS IN STRESSFUL TIMES DEVELOPES A TRUE BOND.
