"For those of you who have worked this program and have the willingness to help and sponsor a newcomer, can we see a showing of hands?"
After hands go up, you can say something along the lines of..."if you are new to this program, or need a sponsor, please look around and get a few phone numbers from those with their hands up, and then call them. They are willing to help you."

First...welcome to MIP Gregory....In my homegroup we ask at the beginning of the meeting...In the chairperson's opening...They ask if anyone is available to be a tempory sponsor...To please raise your hand...Followed by...If anyone needs a temporary sponsor to get together with one of these people after the meeting. We decided to go with temporary sponsor....To at least get the ball rolling...You can bring that up with the group at your next group meeting. That's how we do it....Glad to have you here.

"will those of you here that are members of this group, please raise your hands" ... there is a pause, then ... "Will those of you here, willing to be a temporary sponsor, please raise your hands." ... ... ... if there is anyone here needing a sponsor , please see one of these people after the meeting ...
Great question ... glad you joined us Gregory ...

At my home group they keep a running list of temporary sponsors, which they announce at each meeting. They also ask each meeting for anyone willing to add their name to the temporary sponsors list.
Welcome, Gregory! Stick around!

"This meeting promotes sponsorship. If you need a sponsor and you liked something that someone shared or hear someone that has what you want, talk to them after the meeting about sponsorship."
Some meetings specify "Is there anyone with over a year sobriety that is available to be a temporary sponsor?" Some leave out the year long sobriety thing cuz there are not enough folks out there to be sponsors and having a year is not as important as having been through the steps at least 1 time.

Hej, alla. Under lång tid var jag skeptisk till onlinekasinon eftersom jag inte gillar komplicerade system och press. Jag provade chicken road spontant när jag hade lite ledig tid på kvällen. Först tittade jag bara på hur allt fungerade, sedan började jag spela försiktigt. Jag gillade verkligen att man själv bestämmer allt här ingen tvingar en att gå vidare. Det fanns stunder av tvivel, men det är det som gör det intressant. En kväll blev särskilt framgångsrik och lämnade mig med trevliga känslor. Mitt i spelet kom jag på mig själv med att tänka att jag skulle rekommendera detta spel till dem som gillar enkelhet och kontroll. I slutändan var jag nöjd och kan med säkerhet rekommendera det.
