Roman 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 six months 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Sending love. Wishing Roman a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Rooting for you, Roman. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Mandaue
So sorry you're going through this, Roman. Wishing Roman a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Swansea.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Rawalpindi this morning. Greetings from Rawalpindi!
