Savannah needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery

A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

Riverside
I'm ninety days 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. Thank you for reading my story.

  • Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rochester

    • gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Riverside.

      • Hope things get better soon, Savannah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
