The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I find myself turning to Alanon once again after walking away nearly 2 years ago. I was attending face to face meetings, had a sponsor, and was working the steps. However, I got pregnant, had a baby, and completely lost touch with the program and myself. I don't have the ability to make it to face to face meetings at this time in my life but I know I need to be working this program. I read thru the meditation books daily and sometimes call into phone meetings but wondering how to get a sponsor in cyber world. If anyone has any experience with working the program exclusively online, any input would be helpful. I feel so lost and confused.
Not able to answer your online sponsor question, per se, but for the bigger picture of "where to begin"??
Posting here is a great start.... we also have online meetings, that you can actively participate in..... This is a great site - full with great people, from all walks of life, and at every level of recovery.....
Glad you found us - please join us in becoming yet another "miracle in progress"

Welcome RecoverySeeker. MIP is a great place to be. Glad you found us. Since you aren't able to get to any f2f meetings, I hope you will be able to join in on the online meetings we have here at MIP. I love going to the meetings here when I can find the time. I am pretty new here myself. Found MIP on 10/08/10. Everyone here is so nice and supportive. I am sure you will realize that too. I hope you enjoy coming here as much as I do, and I hope to see you around on the boards as well as the chatroom.
Take care,
Kimmy

Aloha Jenn and you can always read read read and PM (Personal Message) those who show up for confidential feedback if you're wanting special feedback on a certain subject. It's not traditional sponsoring or even cyber sponsoring however it does show the willingness of others to support your recovery and your willingess to continue on with your program. You can always "take what you like and leave the rest too". Keep coming back. ((((hugs))))
