Colton 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 eight weeks into recovery from cannabis 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Colton. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Colton. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending love, Colton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Paris.
