Beatriz needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from opioid addiction.

I'm six months into recovery from opioid 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Beatriz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong, Beatriz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of La Plata.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Sending strength, Beatriz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together
