Hi Shoelaces,
I'm a partner rather than a PA...but I am female, which is a start! I understand how addictive porn can be, and years ago I had my own decisions to make over urges to look at porn after an abusive father left me in a pickle over what was right and wrong sexually. So while I'm not a PA and those issues were sorted out a long time ago, if you want me to be a "semi-sponser", then let me know

Default Willing to be a sponsor! - 05-17-2008, 07:37 AM
Hi Everyone:

I'm willing to sponsor someone. I'm 42, been "clean" for about 3 months, with one tiny, tiny relapse that lasted 45 seconds and involved a book of artistic nudes in a library.

I live in California. I am gay, so if that is a problem, I understand. I am not against mb, and I'm not trying to give it up, but if you are trying to give up mb and p, I will be completely supportive.

My basic strategy: I look at the struggle as a "one day at a time" kind of thing. I try to be creative (going for a jog, a walk, going out to a cafe, etc) in my approach. I really believe in staying away from the computer unless I'm feeling strong.

Okay, so please contact me if I can help you. I'm happy to help. In fact, helping folks is probably a big part of the recovery process for me, I think.

All the best,

Dave

I'm pretty sure that in most 12 step programs it isn't really required that you have bee clean for a certain period of time before you can be a sponsor. In fact, quite often, the process of sponsoring someone else helps you stay clean.

I'm willing to sponsor someone as long as they know that I have really been struggling lately myself.

I'm also looking for a sponsor, mainly someone to be accountable to, probably have daily emails or something at first. Currently I try to do this with my ex-girlfriend but when I slip up I am too ashamed to admit it to her. It would probably be good to have someone that I wasn't so emotionally involved with. I'm a straight male, 30, but I don't really care what attraction my sponsor has. I'm pretty sure that I need a male sponsor though.
