Peer mentor wanted by a person four months into recovery from alcohol dependence.

I'm four 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
