Peer mentor wanted by a person six months into recovery from prescription-drug dependence.

I'm six months 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Raleigh
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Lecce so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Sowmya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mumbai.
get well soon. Sent it to 7 people at work. Thinking of Mumbai
So sorry you're going through this, Sowmya. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Lagos
