Unathi 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 six months into recovery from cannabis 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

    • Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Unathi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

      • 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 Buffalo

        • Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Stellenbosch

          • Sending love. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
