Just curious, why not try real meetings. I'm sure you could find a good sponsor there.. On gye - who knows? you might get a guy that has no clue (and thinks hes scotty2) and mess things up big time. (By telling you to fight "machshovos zaros" and have more "self control" etc.) What your looking for is a real 12step veteran.. Gye is great to post and get to know people, but I dont think its a safe place to find a sponsor upon such an apeal. (Beshem Dov - Mipi Hashmua)

(*I mean a sponsor for addicts, not crticizing the parter program ch'v)

davidswerl OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Karma: 0	that is a good point but I do not of any Jewish meetings...unless you think that having a Jewish sponsor is not a necessity and I would definitely hear that...but I have listened to a regular SA call and it was really not helpful at all...

A jewish sponsor for sure can realte much better with us. However I dont think scott is jewish.. and Duvid Chaim writes that he learned a ton of him. Yes, somehow a sheigatz can show us how to start living..
Why not try it*. If you feel that you are not getting anything from it, at least you know you tried and did your best. (I love that feeling)

(*If you live in tel aviv, pm me, as I can get you in touch with someone that can tell you wich meetings NOT to go to

)

Kol hakavod for your determination!

Whatever you decide, hatzlacha rabah!

davidswerl OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Karma: 0	Ok i know you are right and I am definitely going to test that out but I need a Jewish person in SA to go to if I have any questions about things that the non-Jewish person would not be able to understand

gibbor120 OFFLINE Platinum Boarder NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Posts: 5251 Karma: 166	I don't have experience. But the 12 steppers don't seem to think you need someone jewsih. It may not be worth it to wait for the exact right person. As dov has said, the most imporant qualification for a sponsor is that he is not you. gmar chasima tova!

WELCOME! hope you have much hatzlacha on your journey.

"....You start giving to others, and you’ll start to see your pain fade away.... If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don’t like. Kill narcissus.Kill apathy. Kill the shameful selfish looser inside of you. I had an old self that I killed..... You can kill yourself too, but that doesn't mean you got to stop living...kill the part of you that's all you and nobody else, because that's the part that makes you want to curl up and die"

"Fear plays an interesting role in our lives. How dare we let it motivate us? How dare we let it into our decision-making, into our livelihoods, into our relationships?..."

Everyone is different.

I chat with guys on here, talk with some on the phone, and I have met a couple of gye members. While it is nice to meet the person on the other end, because we have become good friends, the meetings really didn't change anything for me.

To me, the people are just as real on chat and on the phone as they are in person.
