Silke is six months into recovery and looking for a guide

Silke is six months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm six 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. Glad we found this place.

      Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

          Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

            look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
