Joyce is four 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 four 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.

  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!

    • Thinking of you, Joyce. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.

      • hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

        • Wishing you the best. Wishing Joyce a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope May is when things finally get easier.

          • Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Bang Khen.

            • Good luck, Joyce. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
