I'm six 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Sending strength. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Orlando but we're thinking of you. Love from Orlando!

    • Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out
