MentoringMental health & recovery
Julia is eight weeks into recovery and looking for a guide
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Port Harcourt.
Keep going, Julia. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Sending love, Julia. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Blessings
