MentoringMental health & recovery
Milena 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Houston.
You're not alone, Milena. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Toronto
Sending strength, Milena. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Zapopan!
Thinking of you and your family, Milena. Wishing Milena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Keep going, Milena. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Leipzig but we're thinking of you.
