Hi,
I have been wanting to do my step five for a few months now but could do with some suggestions.  Does it need to be your sponsor.  I decided that my relationship with my sponsor was not very healthy she has given me so much but her objectivity had gone and she had strted to direct me/control.  I began to feel very uncomfortable and left my home group and joined another group , I am finally starting to settle.  However this experience has shook me up a little. I have revisited my old meetings and do tend to make amends for just diconnecting when I get to steps 8/9.  However I neeed to move on as she would shake her head when I had slips or was not meeting her expectations, I knew it was not al anon but felt I could not say nothing as she was an old timer.  i have been looking around for a new sponsor but i am having problems identifying someone.  I really do feel ready to do this step i do believe I am doing steps 6 and 7 already but really want to sit a do step five with someone.  do you have any suggestions ror tips on how to identify the right person or how to pick a new sponsor.

thanks
