Niels needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person ninety days into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.

I'm ninety days into recovery from prescription-drug 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.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Niels. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Vadodara this morning. Thinking of Rotterdam.
take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Niels. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Niels. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Rotterdam
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in South Holland. I'll ask around and let you know!
Rooting for you, Niels. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Rotterdam.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Bekasi so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Rotterdam
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Rotterdam.
