MentoringMental health & recovery
Samantha 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family, Samantha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lapu-Lapu so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Giza
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Laval.
