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

I'm four 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Carla. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rennes
