Bruna needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery

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

I'm ten months 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • so sorry you're going through this, Bruna. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Siliguri this morning.

    • Hope things get better soon, Bruna. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

      • Thanks for sharing this, Bruna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
