I'm ten months 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 for reading my story.

  • Wishing you the best, Ryan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Manila.

    • Rooting for you, Ryan. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours

      • Hope things get better soon, Ryan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Ryan. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Istanbul.

          • Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

            • Stay strong, Ryan. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Manila.
