Matilda needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from alcohol dependence.

I'm six months 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Matilda. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Paarl
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Dwarka but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Dwarka.
Praying for you, Matilda. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 40 people at work. Thinking of Tamale.
Thanks for sharing this, Matilda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
