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

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. Thank you so much.

  • Take care, Boon. Get well soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Ibadan.

    • Good luck, Boon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

      • Hope it all works out, Boon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

        • Good luck. Get well soon. My neighbor in Port Harcourt donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bangkok.

            • Stay strong, Boon. This could happen to any of us. God bless.

              • Hope things get better soon, Boon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.

                  Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fresno.

                  • hope it all works out, Boon. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.

                    • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Seoul

                        Thinking of you, Boon. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

                        • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Bangkok.
