We suggest you look first to the groups in your area for sponsors, attending as many meetings as you can. Visit other meetings and OA events. Sponsors are often asked to identify themselves, and you can then approach them and ask if they are available. Another resource for sponsors is telephone and/or online meetings. These will help you gather names of members in other areas who may be willing to sponsor long distance.

A temporary sponsor is a good way to start from your first day. They will help guide you when you have questions and then you can move on to another sponsor after meeting others, or the temporary sponsor may be able to continue.
