American living overseas and trying to manage my 12-step recovery in absence of a "face to face" sponsor. Seeking to identify a female peer sponsor who can periodically work with me and provide the needed assistance. I am 55 y/o narcotics user in recovery.

I would be happy to help.  Here are considerations that you should be aware of about me -- I have only 6 months in recovery.  I am completing step 6 with my sponsor this weekend.

Good news, though - I work at a treatment center and I'm very active in NA.  I can ask around and see if there is someone with a little more time or stepwork if you are interested.

If you think I'd be appropriate, I know it will help my recovery, and I'd be happy to do it.

Your call.  I'll ask around and, of course, I want to check with my sponsor.

Are there any 'norms' that are specific to online sponsorship?  For example, I call my sponsor daily and I have my sponsee call me daily.  Is there a standard or custom (or whatever the word I can't find now is...) like that?  Is there any literature?  It's an interesting concept.  Even if you chose a different sponsor, it might be fun to come up with some recommendations for others in the same spot.

Have a great day and I'll check in again tomorrow or sooner.

PS - Know that I'm here for you as part of a support group you can count on if you need me, regardless of ANY considerations.

Hi, My name is Faith and I have been clean and sober since 1990.

 I was addicted to prescription narcotics for years, many of those yrs I didn't even know I had a problem.

 After all a Dr. kept prescribing. (I had been hit by a car)

I have worked all the steps, and continue to work them in my daily life.

I have sponsored many women, some successful, some not so succesful. But that's expected, we're only human.

I would be more than glad to assist you in reaching your goals.

If you would like you can email me- fziemba@yahoo.com

I look forward to hearing from you.

God Bless,

Faith
