Aparecida 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 four 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.

wishing you the best, Aparecida. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
you're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Aparecida. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
