Chebet 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 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.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
You're not alone, Chebet. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Syracuse.
