Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.

I'm six 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.
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon, Karina. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Ibadan but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Thinking of you. Wishing Karina a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending good thoughts, Karina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. Love from Nairobi.
Rooting for you. Wishing Karina a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
