Sơn 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 eight weeks 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Sơn. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Keep going, Sơn. Wishing Sơn a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Orlando but we're thinking of you.
