Ashwin is eight weeks into recovery and looking for a guide

A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm eight weeks 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 hope life is good to you.

    Good luck, Ashwin. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Mumbai.

      wishing you the best, Ashwin. I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai.
