Aaliyah needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm eight weeks into recovery from stimulant addiction. I attend meetings and see a counselor, but the weeks between meetings are the hardest. I'd love a mentor - someone who has a year or more of recovery and who would be willing to talk once a week.
I'm not looking for a replacement for treatment. I'm looking for someone who understands what a bad Tuesday night feels like.
I'd prefer someone who's happy to do video calls. Any country is fine. I'll be respectful of your time and boundaries, and happy to pay it forward later.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Wishing you peace, Aaliyah. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Aaliyah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal.
Good luck, Aaliyah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from New Delhi.
