MentoringMental health & recovery
Josiah 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 eight weeks 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Josiah. Get well soon. Love from Giza.
Keep going, Josiah. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Kazan
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you. Thinking of San Jose.
Best of luck, Josiah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of San Jose
Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Rome
