MentoringMental health & recovery
Marcel needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm ninety days into recovery from stimulant 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Marcel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon, Marcel. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles.
Best of luck, Marcel. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Birmingham.
Stay strong, Marcel. Hope this works out for you. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up. Greetings from Negombo.

Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Take care, Marcel. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal. Blessings
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Breda.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Madina.
