Hazel is four months into recovery and looking for a guide

A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm four 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Sending strength, Hazel. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Cardiff.

          Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Colombo but we're thinking of you.
