Asher needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery

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

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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

          Take care, Asher. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

            Sending love, Asher. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
