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

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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone

Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Sending love, Kennedy. Wishing Kennedy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
get well soon. Put this on a community board in Newcastle this morning. Blessings
you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
