Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from alcohol dependence.

I'm six 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

- 1 call a week

looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Hubballi so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Sending love. Get well soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
