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

I'm four months into recovery from opioid 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

rooting for you, Laura. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Wishing Laura a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Oaxaca de Juárez.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Oaxaca. I'll ask around and let you know.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Barat so I could bring a meal. Take care

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Newcastle.
