Peer mentor wanted by a person ninety days into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.

I'm ninety days 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Sofía. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Gwagwalada so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Birmingham.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.
stay strong, Sofía. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you peace, Sofía. Wishing Sofía a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Móstoles.
Thanks for sharing this, Sofía. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bangkok.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Gangnam
Sending love, Sofía. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care, Sofía. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Stay strong, Sofía. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
