Wunmi 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Keep going, Wunmi. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Wunmi. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Philadelphia.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you.
