Hi Ben here, I'd be willing to sponsor a PA who wanted extra support to help them quit. I am atheist but kind of spiritual, am in my late teens and am generally left leaning politically. Feel free to PM me if anyone is interested. I'd be up for e-mails and instant messaging.
All the best,
Ben

Reason: Found someone
Well, it's like the blind leading the blind, but given that in PA circles we don't have access to folks with 10 or 20 years of sobriety like AA, so... I'm willing to sponsor someone. Just PM me via the site and I'll send you my email address, which is the best way to contact me in general.
Need a friend to help progress a little farther -

I am a 43 yr male old p/m addict of almost 30 yrs. I have made great progress from where I was 10 years ago but need someones help to be accountable. I am married but got no support from my wife years ago when I tried to open up and get help.
I would love to have someone else to lean on at times male or female is fine with me. I used to have a female friend that was somewhat helpful and understanding without it being weird. In fact she gave a little insight into women that helped to start to understand that not all women are like the women in magazines. She got married and having such a relationship could have been awkward for her husband so we stopped.
I try to be religious and know that it can really help.
Well, it was recommended that I seek a sponsor to help me maintian accountability and I think it is a fine idea so here I am, hat in hand asking if anyone wants to offer themselves up. I am a PA of over 30 years with more issues and twisted turns in this thing I call life than you can poke a stick at. However storng i may feel or small victorys captured day to day, the fact is I have been losing this fight for a long time. My wife is leaving me or soon will, I am isolated and alone with no friends to speak of. Not to be a taker, I can offer my experience and advice for what it is worth, hopefully good conversation and if nothing else can serve as an example of having it all and still losing the game. Being retired military, this will be a no frills ride so I am pretty straight forward and enjoy the same in return. I still work internationally which adds it own unique facet to my problems. I appreciate you time and hope to hear from someone soon.
Making this forum easier to use... -

It strikes me that this forum is a bit confusing at the moment. Could people who have found a sponsor/sponsee (for lack of a better word) edit their posts to say they've found someone. That way if someone is looking it's easier to see who is avaliable.
Good luck everyone!
Best wishes,
Ben

I'm currently looking for a "co" sponsorship. That means, I'd like to sponsor someone and be sponsored as well. I need a more direct line of accountability. Just PM me if you're interested.
