Uchenna needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Uchenna is ten months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm ten months into recovery from alcohol 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Thinking of you and your family, Uchenna. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted.
Sending good thoughts, Uchenna. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you. Take care.
hope things get better soon, Uchenna. Get well soon. Thinking of Nnewi.
