Natalia needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person eight weeks into recovery from opioid addiction.

I'm eight weeks into recovery from opioid 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Natalia. This could happen to any of us.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Córdoba.
Hang in there, Natalia. Wishing Natalia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Thinking of you and your family, Natalia. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Córdoba.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 21 people at work. Love from Ekurhuleni
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
wishing you peace, Natalia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
