Vijay is ninety days into recovery and looking for a guide
Vijay is ninety days into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm ninety days 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.

Best of luck, Vijay. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
Rooting for you, Vijay. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Mumbai
Thanks for sharing this, Vijay. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Edinburgh this morning. Thinking of Thane
