Joy is ten months into recovery and looking for a guide
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

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

Wishing Joy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Columbus so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Rohini.
