Lorena is ninety days into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Hang in there, Lorena. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Hope it all works out, Lorena. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Envigado.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Bursa
Hope it all works out, Lorena. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Anaheim.
You're not alone, Lorena. This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Praying for you, Lorena. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Barcelona but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Barcelona
Stay strong, Lorena. Wishing Lorena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Envigado.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
thanks for sharing this, Lorena. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 37 people at work. All the best.
Keep going, Lorena. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Envigado.
