Amani is six months into recovery and looking for a guide

Amani is six months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

Embakasi
I'm six months into recovery from alcohol dependence. 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.

                    take care, Amani. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Embakasi.
