Anil 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 six months into recovery from prescription-drug 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Anil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Anil. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
Thanks for sharing this, Anil. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Gandaki. I'll ask around and let you know.
