Hi, I don't know if this will help much but i believe through personal experience and professional training that alcoholics are made before they are born.
Genetic make up plays a part. Some people have it some don't. Some of the most suseptable groups are Scandinavians and Native Americans. My kids are both.
Another factor is Attitudes, behaviors,perseptions,and value systems at home while growing up.

These often lead to a need for escapism. How we choose to do this can lead to alcohol and other drug use.
Adults with ADD often choose to self medicate with a sedative to slow themselves down. This choice is often alcohol.

personal and professional opinions on how alcoholism starts.
Genetic make up . Some of us have it. Some of us don't
Some of us got a taste for it in the womb because our mother drank while pregnant.
Attitudes,behavior,perceptions and values in our families of origin while we were growing up.
These things can cause a need for escapism. How we choose to escape can lead to alcohol and other drugs.
Adults and teens with ADD look for ways to calm themselves down. They choose to self medicate with alcohol and other drugs.
Some people like the taste of alcohol and the sensation of it going down in the digestive system. This is me. Living proof.

Hi shady030, We are glad you are here. One thing you can look at on the board is the Sponsors Help Forum where there is alot of information about how to find a sponsor. http://www.cyberrecovery.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=76 It may give you some answers you seek for finding a sponsor.
In recovery we do what we have to do to stay clean a day at a time. Take it 5 minutes at a time, i remember doing that because a day just seemed to long. I suggest local meetings but the are some online also . You can go different places for an online meeting . Check these links out http://www.cyberrecovery.net/forums/chatmeet.php

Keep coming back, and Don't give up before the miracle happens. Keep sharing.

Hi Shady030! yes we care very much, but you have to care enough about yourself to stay clean one day at a time. It's good that you are reaching out and sorry no one responded to you. Looks like now you have a lot of caring responces. Keep coming back and spill yur guts if you have to to stay clean. (((((((((huggies)))))))

My personal experience with online sponsorship is that it doesn't work nearly as well as if you had a living, breathing person to talk to, hug, go to meetings with, call on the phone, etc. Especially being so fragile at this point.

Could you go back to rehab? Can you go to meetingings in your area and put out the S.O.S. for a sponsor? That may be the best things for you at this point. That is what I did, and I am still sober and fairly sane. It will be effort on your part, but pay outs require work.

Blessings: SIoux

Hello Shady,
I hope and pray that you are doing okay, you did the right thing by reaching out here on CRF that is the beginning, however you should get to meetings and get a sponsor. PLEASE take care of yourself, hope to hear from you soon!!! :195:

Many of us here care very much.. most of us have been where you are...I am 55 years old drank and drugged for 35 years.. lost my wife..brother and nephew to addictions and continued on in denial.... but 31 months ago i got clean and sober and it has been the best 31 months of my life.. just take the first step and decide not to use today...you will be shocked at how quick time goes by sober..... get to treatment as that is usually the smart way to start..you must be willing to do whatever it takes.....there are plenty of people willing to help you if you are willing to help yourself...God Bless and just for today..smile and know that God and many people are here for you.

I was sur I sent you a message that I would sponsor you till you could get one at a meeting in your own area.Send me a pm if you are willing to do what I ask wich is go to any lenghts to stay sober.

[pcdimensionsplus]

Hi Shady, I read your post. I am not qualified to be your sponsor but I know that there must be some support groups in your area. Recovery groups that meet at least once a week if not more. Once you find them they can hook you up with even more groups or people that can help. If you keep up with groups you will eventurlly find a sponsor.
Call hospitals to get numbers for support groups or crisis lines or any other resoruce that holds that kind of information. Best of luck, pcdimensionsplus
