Lemlem needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Lemlem is eight weeks into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm eight weeks 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Beersheba.
wishing you peace. Wishing Lemlem a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Sent it to 21 people at work. All the best
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in A Coruña this morning.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mekelle.
