Paloma needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person ten months into recovery from stimulant addiction.

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

- 1 call a week

Stay strong, Paloma. Wishing Paloma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Gazipur.
Hope it all works out, Paloma. Get well soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Zapopan.
So sorry you're going through this, Paloma. Get well soon. All the best.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Jacksonville!
Wishing you peace, Paloma. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
sending strength. Get well soon. Sent it to 38 people at work!
