Isla needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Isla is eight weeks into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm eight weeks 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.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Your post was clear and honest. Love from Kanpur.
Sending good thoughts, Isla. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
