I'm ten months into recovery from alcohol 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. Thank you for reading my story.

  • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

    • Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up.

      • sending love, Brett. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.

        • You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Berlin.

          • Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page.
