Arun 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 ninety days 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Nagpur.

    • sending strength, Arun. This could happen to any of us

      • wishing you peace, Arun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

            Wishing you peace, Arun. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care

            • Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Nagpur.

              • You're not alone, Arun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Nagpur.

                • hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Hubballi.
