Hugo needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person eight weeks into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.

I'm eight weeks 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

sending strength, Hugo. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Take care, Hugo. Hope this works out for you. God bless
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Hugo. Get well soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
