Songül needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery

Songül is four months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm four 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Montego Bay but we're thinking of you. Love from Montego Bay

      Praying for you, Songül. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
