Ruairi is eight weeks into recovery and looking for a guide

Peer mentor wanted by a person eight weeks into recovery from alcohol dependence.

I'm eight weeks into recovery from alcohol 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        Good luck, Ruairi. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kyiv so I could bring a meal. God bless!

          Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything

            Hope it all works out, Ruairi. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Rome donated after I showed her your page.
