I'm ninety days into recovery from cannabis 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.

      • It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Naples but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Arusha.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Kioko. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Arusha.

          • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Take care.
