Ruth 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 ten 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

My cousin went through something similar so this one hit home. Happy to help in person if that works! Can bring a friend.

I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of San Jose.
