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

I'm ten months 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.
Glad we found this place.

rooting for you, Derek. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Corpus Christi
wishing you peace, Derek. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Dhaka.
