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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of San Francisco.
Stay strong, Heather. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Ubud.
Hope it all works out, Heather. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Nairobi.
