Toru 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you peace, Toru. Wishing Toru a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Tokyo.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Shubra so I could bring a meal. Take care
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dnipro.
