I'm ten months into recovery from stimulant 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Sending love, Henry. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

    • Best of luck, Henry. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Lagos.

      • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too!

        • Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Pune.

          • Hope things get better soon, Henry. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

            • take care, Henry. Get well soon.

              • Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Henry a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.

                • rooting for you, Henry. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                          • Best of luck, Henry. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

                            • stay strong, Henry. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Denver but we're thinking of you. God bless!

                              • Wishing you the best, Henry. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
