MentoringMental health & recovery
Miles 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 eight weeks 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Vancouver
Hope it all works out, Miles. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Vancouver.
Thinking of you, Miles. Get well soon. Greetings from Fresno.
wishing you peace, Miles. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
