I have found some of the best ways to find a sponsor or sponsors (it's ok to have a main sponsor and then a few back up people you can reach out too in case your sponsor is unavailable at the moment)
Look for someone you feel you have a connection with, someone that seems to have a recovery program that you respect and would like to learn from, someone that you feel drawn too and may have a story similiar to yours.
and with that being said - sometimes your HP may lead you to someone who's story may be completely different from yours, but you both walk the same recovery path.
Look, listen and be open to your inner guidance
Most remember it's ok to have a temporary sponsor and if it doesn't work out - you can always try working with someone else.
Wishing your HP's best, Rita

I think the best way to find a sponsor is by attending face to face al-anon meetings. Pretty soon, sure enough, one will come into your life if you keep attending. Hugs, J.
