I need an online Alanon sponsor to help me work the steps.  I have been in Alanon for 2yrs and need help working the steps.  Any volunteers?

Thanks

Greetings Julie Lynn,

Welcome to the MIP stepwork board.

Hope and pray that you find that person who can walk the journey of AlAnon recovery with you and guide you thru the Steps.

Keep coming back.

Blessings and Peace ~ Tahir.

 Do we need a sponsor when working the steps online?

For me, I don't necessarily think so. I have worked the Steps in a Step Working Group even before I did it with my first Sponsor. And the program still worked for me then. I took the group as my Sponsor. However, some part of this Stepwork process like the Fifth Step, for instance, did require me to choose another member, preferably someone who has the experience of working the steps, to guide me. In a group setting, I have reached out to many members and gained from all of their experiences. But I must admit that the rewards of working the Steps under the guidance of a Sponsor is without parallel.

This is merely my experience. Might not necessarily be so for another. It has always helped me to remember that what does not work for me might actually be something that has saved another's life. So, there are different approaches, and the most important thing about them all is that they all work.

Only thing that the 12 step program of which I'm a part of suggests in this context is that I don't do it alone, all by myself. And I have confirmed it to be very true thru my own futile attempts. I realized that it is very difficult to find a solution to any problem by the same consciousness that created it (ME)
