Charmaine is eight weeks into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm eight weeks 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Montréal.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Montréal.
So sorry you're going through this, Charmaine. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. Thinking of Montréal.

Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Peshawar.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Novosibirsk.
