Charlene needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person four months into recovery from stimulant addiction.
🇿🇦 South Africa912 views
I'm four 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.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Seville so I could bring a meal. Love from Gujranwala.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Nakhon Ratchasima
