Hello everyone.

[Erics Dilemma]

My name is Eric. I am new to the forums. I found these forums in a recovery forum google search. I am 27 years old and I currently have about 4 1/2 months sober. I live in sober living and am pretty involved with the house and chapter that I am a part of.

I've been white-knuckling it though. I go to 3-5 AA meetings a week, but I haven't worked up the courage to just walk up to someone and ask them to sponsor me. I'm kind of a shy person and I get nervous in large groups.

I want to start working the steps but I need some direction. Is there anyone on here that would be willing to maybe be my temporary sponsor? Just until I can become comfortable enough to find one in the meeting halls..

I had 8 months dry white knuckling it, went back out. And here I am again. I know that I don't ever want to go back out again. I also know that I can't stay sober if I'm not working the steps. I've tried my way.. now I'm willing to try something else.
