Rawalpindi
I'm ten 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Rooting for you, Fahad. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick

    • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

      • You're not alone, Fahad. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
