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

I'm six months into recovery from prescription-drug 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 hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best, Wouter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Rotterdam.
Sending love, Wouter. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
wishing you peace, Wouter. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Bergamo this morning. Love from Bergamo.
thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Louisville so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Columbus
Thinking of you, Wouter. Shared it with a few friends.
I hope things turn around soon. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
