Araceli needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person ten months into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.
🇲🇽 Mexico549 views
I'm ten 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.
Thank you so much.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Araceli. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

Take care, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from Howrah
Best of luck, Araceli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mangaluru so I could bring a meal. Take care
Praying for you, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
Thinking of you, Araceli. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
