Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.

I'm six months into recovery from prescription-drug 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- Made me feel heard
The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.
- Would recommend to anyone
I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
