MentoringMental health & recovery
Jameson needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm ten months into recovery from alcohol 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dwarka.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Thinking of Swansea.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Swansea.
Sending strength, Jameson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
