Ben needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Ben is ten months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm ten months 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Ben. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Sending strength, Ben. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Muzaffarpur.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Padua so I could bring a meal.
