But how does one go about getting a sponsor. I'm in Sunny's situation. I'm desperate for help and I need someone I can call on who can relate to my struggles.

I encourage you to get on the loop and do meetings, even if it is phone meetings. You will start meeting people and you will connect with someone. Ask them if they would be your sponsor. It worked with me. Hopefully it will for you as well.
Blessings,
Faith
