Kariuki needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Kariuki is six months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm six months into recovery from stimulant addiction. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Kariuki. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
