Harper needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery

Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from opioid addiction.

I'm six 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. Thank you so much.

    Thanks for sharing this, Harper. This could happen to any of us. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

    • Elise Camille Blanchard

      Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

      • Arianna N. Lowe

        Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
