Gerardo is ninety days into recovery and looking for a guide
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm ninety days 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 hope life is good to you.

Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Semarang.
sending love, Gerardo. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Diego.
Thinking of you and your family, Gerardo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rawalpindi.
Thinking of you, Gerardo. Shared this with my family. Thinking of San Diego.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of San Diego.
