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

I'm six months 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Recife!

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

Sending good thoughts, Kingsley. Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Haifa.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Kingsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Kingsley. Wishing Kingsley a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Hang in there, Kingsley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Kingsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
